NWAC dripping oil all over the freight apron at Dubai, 1976.

I worked for Dubai Airwing, on that ramp from '77 -'89.
That DC6 in the picture was dragged away by the airport authority and stored down by the fire station before being broken up, as the ramp in the picture was used for VVIP movements as its presence was a bit of an embarrassment.

I do recall one of the unserviceable power plants being retrieved from the sand, and being taken off to Cyprus by NWAT to be used 'in the apprentice training school'.............who is kidding who I thought!
NWAT, an old school cowboy operation.
