Humar

navstar1. I could have done with that dune map! There were no NDB's available in 59/61, so we had to use dead reckoning from the oil company strip at Tarif. I only failed to find Humar once when the vis was very poor in blowing sand. I always stayed with the aircraft, often on my own, while the passengers together with the nav or sig were driven to the TOS camp. I will always remember the first time I heard desert bells shortly after the sun slipped below the dunes.
