Unexpected visitor to RAF Sharjah. Diverted in with 'cracked' exhaust manifold on one engine (landed on three). After repairs took off the next day at 0600 hrs, en route to Tahiti. From GAM (Groupe Aérien Mixte) 82. F-RBPS was its 'call sign.'

VIP fit. Named "Meghaduta II" in English and Hindi underneath cockpit window. Arr.1140. Night stopover leaving at 1030 on the 1st. Used entire runway length to get airborne, no doubt due to all of the solid oak panelling used in the cabin! The RAF left in 1971 when the "Trucial States" became the United Arab Emirates, the airfield becoming the Emirates International Airport until the new one was opened in 1977. King Abdul Aziz Street is built on the old runway. The ATC, a hangar and the old fort used by Imperial Airways are now incorporated in the "Al Mahatta" museum.
