After reading the Lancaster thread I thought some may appreciate these photos.
My dad flew for the RAFO ( Royal Air Force of Oman ) for some time in the 70's and after returning there in the 80's he sadly lost his life whilst out flying a Hunter.
It was 25 years since his death a month ago and I posted the pictures on a Aviation Forum and have spoken with people who were ground crew and part of the model club that he was a member of.
I was only 6 when he lost his life and as I was so young I have always felt that I didn't know the whole story of his time there, having some of his friends from there help fill in the gaps has been a fantastic and emotional time and I look forward to having some spare time to go through some more of the thosuands of photographs he took.
Anyway here are some of the uploaded pictures, I am sure I will have several questions to answer once you have a look through them so I'll do my best to explain what I can.
