I thought about it and came to the conclusion that you would have to do a lot of reading to find the photograph of the Firq-Saiq tie so I decided it would be quicker and kinder to take a photo of my own old dog-eared version. You will note that the Arabic number 4 is enclosed within the yellow circle halfway up the palm tree.

Now 50 years have elapsed since we left Aden and 105 Squadron (Argosy) moved up to Bahrain. I seem to remember that we took over the administration of the Firq-Saiq Society from 30 Squadron (Beverley). 105 disbanded in January 1968 and was replaced by ARDET (Argosy Detachment) which carried on until the end of 1971.

I got back from my last ARDET on 01.10.71 (I did five of them) and I'm fairly sure that it had been arranged for SOAF at Bait al Falaj to take over the Firq-Saiq Society and all the unsold ties etc.
