Control Tower
Moved from Sharjah last year after over 10 years living there.
Have a mate (a Brit) who'd been there since '69, and still is. He said he bought the Control Tower after the RAF departed in early '72 and converted it into a house. He said the Control Tower Log Book was in the tower open at the last entry of the last shift (he kept it). Presumably they just completed it and walked away? Told him I'd love to see it if he could find it.
Lived there for about 4 years but then sold it as he said it was impractical with small children.
Always wondered about the veracity of this as I assumed the Emiratis as they had then become would want a Control Tower, it might be quite useful at an airfield.
Anyway I was speaking to him on the phone a few days back & he's found the log book; trouble is I'm in Saudi now. Anyway when next in UAE, will
scan some of it & post if its legible
