Riyadh 1994-95

Homepage

While I was on TCW I got sent to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. I spent 3 months or so over there when old Sadam decided to mass his troops on the Kuwait border again.

I am standing outside one of the accommodation blocks at Khobar Towers in Dharhan. About 3 weeks after this photo was taken some terrorists detonated a bomb near here killing a lot of US service personnel.

Yam, Nirmal and me. Both Yam and Nirmal are from the Ghurka signals.

I am stood outside HQ British Forces Op Jural in Riyadh.

On the roof beside the 501 antenna.

The 501 antenna and the "if all else fails this will work" Immarsat terminal.

There is not a lot of room in the back of a 501 landrover.

This is Stu and Gav, 2 of the people I worked with.

Yam inside the COMMCEN.

Kumar beside the engineering desk.
