VC10 nostalgia continued
I was a regular passenger on the BOAC VC 10 flight to and from Dubai from late 1969 to mid 1971, at least four times a year on oil business. The VC10 went on to Karachi. Two memories stand out; the Refuelling stop at Beruit in 1969 with spent bullets and broken glass at the terminal building. All later refuelling stops were at Akrotiri. Secondly, the visits by BOAC aircrew to our oil camp barbecue in the desert outside Dubai on ?Saturday evenings which we had to put a stop to after those visits were reported in the UK press. Any Ex BOAC staff remember the desert visits?
