Why a website on RAF Masirah?.I really don't know.For some years now something has been tantalising me to do so.What is it about experiencing a tour on Masirah that keeps on coming back to reminde one of that experience?.Certainly the island has a lasting effect on all who did a tour of duty there.Most people "handled" the tour better than some who never accepted things for what they were.As for myself,i actually volunteered to go to Masirah.Why?.Because i was unhappy with being a storeman on 72 squadron,Wessex helicopters at RAF Odiham.Initially it was to be 3 month detachment,but as the end of the detachment approached I was offered a 6 month extension.My tour was from March to December 1972.This of course was about the time RAF Muhurraq closed down.
In conclusion please remember this site is recreational only and not intended to be viewed as a reference guide.However if any article or information is wrong then I have no objection whatsoever in being corrected.Enjoy. |
