Seem to remember that at either Khor Fakhan or Fujeira (can't remember which) a Beverley came in to do some sort of supply drop. landed and then discovered that there was insufficient runway to take off again. Much moving of oil drums, rocks and other assorted debris (I was on the Sharjah MDRT at the time) enabled the Beverley to taxi past a ditch and then commence it's take off run. It was fun to watch it surmount the ditch and eventually it got off.
I had the photographs but they were ditched when wife No 1 ditched me!
