"Apart
from the casualties listed there we also dealt with
550-600 outpatients per month - that is between the
three MO's - two surgeons and one anaesthetist."

| "Unfortunately I
can not remember the name of the junior surgeon - his first name
was Tim. He told me then that he couldn't wait to retire though
he was about the same age as me at the time - I had my 30th
birthday in October which concided with the launching of
'Oktoberfest' the climax to the ? five year campaign in Dhofar
when several Hunters (ex RAF followed by ex RJAF) based at
Thumrait launched a series of attacks in and around the Yemeni
port of Hauf."

| "The drawings add
a personal touch - they were for Peter who was at home and then
aged 20 months. I had no artists materials and they were drawn
on letter paper with office fibretips" GSS |
| "You probably
remember the supplies from RAF Masirah - the Skyvan took Tim to
the Kuria Muria Islands to do a clinic once a month" GSS |
| "All this is just
in case you look at the pictures that I have sent you and think
that we did not do any work! " GSS |
