Hi Martin, good to hear from you hope things are fine with you, it has been quite a while about 35 years, Me John Mc, Taff, and Martin A, are all on the Masirah Expats Facebook Page. And Yes you did look that young.

Great memories. I was one of 2 Kiwis working as armourers in SOAF (Masirah} from 1980 through 1983. Great times

I'll try that again - doh! Just stumbled on the sight, I was on 20 Sqn from Jan 86 to Sep 87 so a little after these pics were taken. I replaced Tim Wills (avionics) but remember Dave Pallat, Chris Rogers, Fozzie, Jon Manicom, Martin Austin, Clive Masters, Jim Brannon, Jim Kirkwood, John Gregory, John Wild, Jim Dobson and Uni (Parts) in stores. Great days, great mates and a highpoint in my career!

Does anyone know whether there is a book one can buy which captures photos of Augusta Bell squadron 205 from 1979 onwards when my Dad served there?

My father Peter Levingston may have been the Padre at Masirah around this time i cannnot be sure but this might help your search possibly.

My name is Janet O'Neill, I live in Australia, my brother Peter Symmons was working for the Sultan of Oman's Air Force, he was killed in Muscat on 16th June 1973. A padre from RAF Masirah was sent by the Royal Air Force to conduct his funeral. I have not been able to find any more detail than that of his time in Muscat or his funeral or his grave. I would appreciate any information that can be given me.

Sue I knew Tom, a lovely guy. Sorry to hear of his passing but it will not be difficult to locate his grave.

Sue Lynes		20-Sep-2008 15:37
Sorry to ask, but would you have known somone called Tom Lynes. He was in the air force in oman and died in service on 22nd May 1993. He is my husbands father and i am looking to hopefully one day take him to visit the grave!! All i have is that it is grave 124, but no idea where only that it is in oman somewhere. Sorry to have bothered you and dont worry if you cant help, but would you know who there is to contact Regards Sue Lynes

Well well what a suprise to get this on the net was only fishing for some pics to bring back memories. Didn't realise you had such a collection Phil. Remember the whole experience well. Had a great run all of us. Hope you don't mind that I have copied some of the phots. Haven't heard from anyone for years. Drop us a line when you are able - Taff Wilson
