Just to set the record straight....The GR1s did Southern and Northern Watch simultaneously. The jets moved out of Northern and handed over to the Jags around 98 I think. They were then flying out of Ali Al Salem AND Saudi until the Saudis got upset about dropping bombs (ironic looking at Yemen today!) so it was just Kuwait until TELIC when it was Kuwait and Al Udeid and then they moved permanently to Al Udeid in summer 03. F3s were only ever in Saudi - accommodation I cannot comment on!
