was that Abdul Rachman Al Khalifa? From IB, looks like it is. What happened ? we should, maybe move this to "Where are they now". Just asked a pal of mine, Retired GF Captain if he knew this guy. Reply was that if it was indeed Abdul, a finer spirit, true Officer, real Gentleman & one of the most gifted humourists ever to grace our Flight Decks.

My mate, Gordo MacFarlaine, recalls a trip he did to Bankok with Abdul. The guy pitched up for the HK turnround with Orange hair, claiming it was a mad thing to do but that he could not wash it out. Well, connected to the Ruling Family, guess he could do anything he wanted! Abdul fle for about a further month with gently, less orange hair !

Sad loss and if it is the same guy, sadly missed by all. RIP Sheik. Now you can get your hair done again.................any colour you like .
