When I was SOLF '84-'86, used to go diving a lot and there was a small island we went to. On the mainland maybe 200 mtrs away there was a Christian graveyard, this was only accessible from the sea. There were navy graves there from the late 19th century and also guys from the Dhofar campaign. So don't think there is as such a UK military graveyard in Oman, probably why F/L Owen Watkinson is still buried where he is. RIP.
