XL638 was written off on 12 October 1967 after a runway over run landing at Khormaksar
I, along with other members of the Mountain/Desert Rescue Team from Sharjah, were waiting at Muharraq for that aircraft to take us to Akrotiri ready for Exercise Nejat (a mountain rescue exercise in Iran).
We then spent the next 10 days holed up in the hell hole of transit accommodation (3 inches between beds) waiting for the unlikely event of spare seats on any other aircraft before we eventually gave up and headed back to Sharjah.
Nothing to do except sun bathe, sightsee and get pissed (which is why Harry W ended up pissing on the end of my bed after a session !)
