RAF Sharjah

If I remember correctly the officers quarters were call "The Cloisters" in the old officers mess.

Also new arrivals were promised a visit to the "Golden Flip Flop!!" the only night club in the Emirates!! We were very young and innocent at the time and believed it existed for at least the first six months of our tour!

The station commander at the time (1966) was Sqn Ldr Tom Sheppard who loved the desert. He was a good a man and did an excellent job as CO.
