RAF Khormaksar in 1965
written by Donald Campbell
 Was there on Emergency Draft 1965 living in Red Sea Hotel before moving to the camp which was so overcrowded we slept on the balcony.I think it was block 7. Worked in the POL Depot when I was not on guard or tanker escort. Formed Pipe Band while there along with an MT guy from N. Ireland(sorry forgot your name, but was it Humphreys)with over 20 players, thanks to PSI and old instruments left behind by a Scottish Regt.in disused barracks the other side of Steamer Point. The Camel Club was always on the agenda.When I was leaving it took 4 days waiting, to catch a Britannia to Muharraq. The bar in Air Movs made a fortune even although whisky/rum was only 6d a double double.A bottle of rum and 4 large bottles of coke cost just 7/-. Those were the days! |
