Royal Air Force Masirah and Salalah Association

The association was created in 2011 and has held annual reunions with a Gala Dinner on the Saturday evening.
Guest speakers have included Harry Irons, Lancaster tail gunner, and Pete Winner, one of the heroes of The Battle of Mirbat.

In 2014 the reunion and Gala Dinner was held in the Crown Plaza hotel in Salalah after a 10 day visit including Muscat, Masirah, Salalah and visits to Ras Al-Jinz turtle conservation reserve and Al-Duqm.
The Chit-Chats in Masirah are as friendly as we always remember them as can be seen by this photo. My account of this trip can be found here - https://raf-masirah.weebly.com/oman-trip-2014.html



The Association has marched in the Veterans Parade at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday in 2015 (link to photos), 2016, 2018 and again in 2019.
I had the honour of taking part in 2015 and was unable to do 2016 and 2018 but re-joined my old comrades in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023. Covid prevented the veterans parade in 2020, and I didn't take part in 2024 due to my new role as Gloucestershire County Representative for the Royal British Legion Riders Branch.

Other visits have been to The NMA (National Memorial Arboretum, RAF Hendon museum, RAF Halton as guests at a passing out parade and others.

To participate in association events go to the website at this link for an application form.

Fees are only £10.00 annually, reunions and other events are additional but well worth it.
