Killer Flights! - Ultra Long Haul

[Rosie1958]

That Marerah stop is that ex RAF base Masirah in Oman?

Hi Ricky, yes it was RAF Masirah in the Oman ......... do you know it? I always remember it as being stiflingly hot, there were only about 6 streets on the island and when we landed there was a water shortage. I felt very ungrateful when offered water as I couldn't bring myself to drink it ....... there were little red worms swimming in it

Yes it's pretty much the same, but known as RAFO Masirah now. We go camping there occasionally, because it's so remote and quiet.
