I flew XM291 and XM959 when I was on 152 in 1959/61. They must have been a bit clapped out!
Manama and Al Khatt were the only established strips I remember east and north of Sharjah, both were integrated into tented TOS camps. However, I did land on a lot of unmarked landing grounds despite being discouraged by the powers that. The most memorable was in the mountains of the Musandam Peninsular, which I described in post 120, however that was authorised by HQPG.
