I have extracted this clip, taken soon after I joined 152 Sqn in 1959. It opens in Sharjah with my Nav (wearing the red and white TOS shemagh) smoking his foul pipe talking to an Aden based Valletta crew. As usual the gate was locked and the Works and Bricks passengers couldn't get onto the airfield! We flew them down to Buraimi to assess the state of the fort and any maintenance required. Then on to Tarif or Mirfa with a load of TOS officers and a few cans of beer!. The end of the clip was shot months later. I'm not sure if it is Manama or Al Khatt. Anyway enjoy.
