I'm sure the strip we used in 59/61 was close to the fort. It's infrastructure consisted of a windsock (BP) and a few white painted stones. The cold beer arrived in one of the Landrovers and the fort couldn't have been far away as I never managed to finish the can before we reached it!

We used to fly the Works and Bricks bods from Bahrain to Buraimi on a regular basis. Their inspection usually consisted of a long curry lunch, a few cold beers and a quick walk around the fort.
