RAF Sharjah's ATC preserved at the "Al Mahatta" museum. The ATC building was not open to the public at the time of my visit. A lot of building work going on around it!! The "old" airfield closed in 1976. The museum opened in March 2000.

Unknown photographer. Info on back of photo - F-5B 3-438 / 65-10587 of the Imperial Iranian Air Force 302 Sqn at Sharjah. No date. I have guessed probably a delivery flight which would make it around 1966. Also in shot is F-5A 3-417.

Less than three months later (see my other photo of XL566) the tail code has been amended to "TW3" According to one of the squadron personnel it was supposed to represent a popular satirical TV show presented by David Frost which ran from 1962 - 3. It was called, "That Was The Week That Was" or commonly shortened to "TW3" Ended up at Brüggen as 8891M for instructional use and scrapped in 1995.
