Riyadh Airwork/BAC

[David edwards]

Hi guys I'm Dave Edwards started with Airwork Riyadh Sept. '72 as aircraft fitter on Strikemasters. Saudis were expanding and wanted bigger overseeing Company so in August '73 BAC arrived and offered Airworkies continuous employment which I foolishly declined. Using MEA through Beirut and either Jeddah or Dammman. Don't know which bases or trades you were so can only comment on Riyadh. The Base manager was Dennis Usher an ex - Battle of Britain pilot and Tech Manager from Warton - .... Fowlis. The Lightnings were at Tabuk can't remember which aircraft at Kamis Mushayt. Hope I can jog your memories a bit. I actually went back to Riyadh '90 - '95 with British Aerospace.
