Guys,
Is there anyone out there who can help me with a little history research on the following RAFO (Royal Air Force of Oman) Huey’s?
The numbers on them (read left to right, and therefore possibly the wrong way around) are:
706
733
727
729
All are past flying and I’d love to know more. Google is chronically slow out here and limited availability to me. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks,
C6

Thanks for the response Gents. I assume they were new build for the Omani’s then? Looking a bit sun bleached in their current location.

SOAF AB 205’s etc.
Good info here, ” Eagles ” by John Clementson. History of Royal Air Force of Oman. ( not a cheap book ) !
