Well I am very much looking forward to see your film on youtube sir! Do you have a Facebook account? I would like to add you sir if you don't mind...

in the mean time here are some more rare and interesting pictures of RAF Sharjah from 60s - 70s. The airfield on which Kuwait Airways is parked still survives today, the picture is in my post earlier in this page the one after the parking lot where loosely all the cars are parked and the surface is a bit cracky that is the spot!



Road to control tower, many of you will remember this!


A plane landing with airport fort at the back, a very rare picture!




This was prior to the building of new control tower which still exists today,


And finally, some plane repaints going on inside the same hangar which exists today! Its just last week that I had a word with the care taker of this hangar and he told me that the Sharjah govt. has no plans to demolish it, today this hangar contains old airport equipment and interestingly he told me it might be refurbished and included in the museum premises!
