Brakewell,you are correct and confirmed via elderly mum(ex-Eagle training hostess) that Eagle never operated into Sharjah.However did find a trip Milan-Sharjah later in the old mans log book,Invicta Brit G-ANCF feb '77.
Many stories of amorous RAF types including a recently found note written to Mum on Eagle notepaper signed Murph,"H" Squadron,5 RTR(or RIR.hard to read).Dad got the thumbs up as they got engaged at the 'Tatty Cat' in Colombo on the Singapore run in '64.
Funny stories of the beaches being cleared in Gan and reserved only for Eagle girls,except for the local Padre!
