GLIDING AT SHARJAH
I am most grateful to you for posting that article from the Gulf Mail dating from March 1970. That fits perfectly with my memories of helping out with the Sharjah Gliding Club. I have it my mind that it was Terry Slater (not Stator) who got posted in.
I was not very good at keeping my gliding log book up to date but arrived in Muharraq for my third Ardet (I did five of them) on 08.01.70. The last Sharjah entry in my gliding log book is on 14.02.70 when I did solo checks on "Davies and Jones" in T-21b 404.
I also remember a chap called (I think) Terry Perry at the Sharjah Gliding Club. He was a Cpl policeman at Benson when I joined Chilterns in 1963 or there abouts. I think he became a loadmaster and was serving as a Wessex winchman at Sharjah.
