I don't remember the Hunters, I was in Salalah during the 'troubles' early 1973 and we used Strikemasters there. Certainly at Wallop we had quite a few exchange officers but I left the Army (REME) in Jan 73 and parts of my memory are fading. Memories of Oman are always good, Salalah probably the best fixing 205's, SAR at Masirah, and Pensec at Khassab.
The Hunters were well established at Thamrait (formerly Midway) in 1975 when I arrived on Loan service.
