I did a couple of detachments to Shajah during the mid '60's with 32 Sqdn.
One w/e 3 aircrew and 3 groundcrew (of which I was one) got together and in two landrovers took off into the hills, under the guidance of a Trucial Oman Scout. It was a hairy old drive but we eventually made it to a TOS outpost commanded by a Major from the Inniskillins. We had a great evening sitting on the OM veranda, drinking and being regaled with stories of life in the TOS. I cannot remember the name of the outpost but it did have a swimming pool which belonged to an arab gentleman who lived nearby.
Did anyone else ever visit there and possibly have the name of the outpost?
looking up at the amazing night sky was almost a religious experience
On our trip we slept outside in the desert and yes
brakedwell, I know what you mean about looking up at the night sky. Awesome!
