Al Jubail as very much a work in progress. The tracked 'dozer you can see is where we hid when a Scud alert was called. That was on 18 Jan 1991.
First trip in support of Op Granby was Aug 12 1990. It was 'kin hot in Thumrait and Riyadh ! On Oct 30 1990 in XV 304 we were the first RAF a/c of the main detachment at Riyadh. When we landed the Saudis claimed to know nothing about us coming. We actually had to contact the Embassy on HF for them to sort it out !
I still have my detachment warning notice.
