Have just found two postcards that I aquired during my time at Sharjah. Whether I purchased them at the airport on one of my "mail pick-ups"(see post505) or in Dubai I can't remember. I know whenever I visited there it never seemed to be that busy, although I did see the odd "Iran Air" Dakota from time to time.
Sorry for the sizes but having a problem uploading, clicking on them will enlarge - I hope.

Probably a later photo' as the airport building now proudly shows its name.

The C-47 is registered G-AMSJ and according to the CAA "G-INFO" site was registered to the Iraq petroleum Co from 10/54 to 1/59 then again 7/59 to 5/61. Although it has no titles it does have a logo on the fin. Couple of nice Bedford fire tenders in the background!
