RAF Habbaniya - 276 SU in 1958
written by Peter Norton
 My memories include many happy days spent at Lake Habbaniya R&R Centre, sailing, swimming, and just hanging around awaiting demob ! I have vivid memories of meeting the young King Faisal, who was a frequent visitor, water skiing, sailing, etc. before his unfortunate demise from the coup by General Kasseem, and our quick, forcible exit from Iraq, after smashing all our equipment and hastily boarding a BOAC Charter Flight out of Baghdad Airport ! I remember Doug King, Paul Dove, Keith Walker, Pete Maslen, Albert Gough,Jock Chambers, Jim Dixon, and many others whose names elude me - like Cpl Pete ? (Geordie from Whitley Bay !)
John Pegram (Linguist?)Somebody Perry ? who taught me to play Cribbage ! If any of you are still alive - Please get in touch. |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
