I served as an airman, (Admin), at RAF Sharjah from 30 Jun 70 until it's closure in Dec 71. Actually volunteered to complete extra 6 months duty there -1 year posting- as I was having such a bloody good time. Worked in SHQ in mornings and then sailed dinghys on Dubai creek at sailing club in afternoons.
It was a single posting and quite right only CO, Group Captain Cedric had wife there. Was a regular in the evenings at the gliding club and think achieved a small measure of fame for having an American girlfriend.
Through sailing club met BOAC crews and became, eventually CSD Longhaul and then aircraft dispatcher. Have many very happy memories and several photo's (somewhere) of those halcyon days.
Often used to visit the old ATC fort to meet up with a civilian ATC friend.
