I was posted there with the Royal Air Force for nine months in 1972. I cursed it when I was there but looking back I had a pretty good time. Spent most of the time in the bar. I notice that the Omani airforce BAC Strikemasters were still there during your visit. Were you aircrew on the Lockheed Orions?

i was a mechanic on the p-3 orion. At night, after our shift, we hit the bar and the pool table pretty hard.

Ignorant US warmongers and british allies, kicking human rights and bringing death and misery to many nations!

Hope one day you will receive the loan for all the killings and crimes you did for your greedy profiteers, exploiting companies and corrupt "administrations" to the people in many countries.

Hi icepickmikey. I didnt go in the Crazy H much but used to go in the Turtle Club and the Naafi. I certainly remember the Tiger and tins of Green Charlie. I wasnt really into curry back then and used to prefer an egg and chips in the naafi watching the Pakistani guys trying to thwack the roaches as they ran across the bar. Do you remember the shit squeezers?

sundaywino - I was there in '72 and also worked in the Commcen and Met Office which definitely was NOT air-conn'd. Do you remember tins of Tiger down The Crazy Horse and curries in the Pakistani Club? Great days!

Nice to hear from you.

I was a wireless operator based in the communication centre which was nice because it was the only building with airconditioning.

Masirah was used as a base to supply Salalah which the other base used by the RAF in Oman. At the time there was a conflict called the Dhofar rebellion and supplies were sent there to support the operations of the SAS.
