That's a very evocative picture, brakedwell. We may have discussed this before, but I checked out the location of Al Khatt on some old maps we have, and find it was very close to what is now Ras al Khaimah international airport. So much so that I wonder if it was the basis of that later development. I hope to be able to go and check it on the ground one day as part of my ongoing interest in what happened to all these stirps that you people used.
