Good morning,

I think we are talking about the Dhofar here. By the 70s there were no British troops left in that area having pulled out of Aden.

There were however members of the SAS there in Oman training the Sultans troops for their war against the liberation army (local insurgents). They were not there, officially, like a great many of the SAS tasks at that time.

Can we see the para wings please.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

A FIND that needs your attention folks.  The medals and Para Regt uniform of a Para major (the wings) who became a padre in the RAChD  https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?department=Medals&lot_id=226138

Goes on after retirement to sell his RAChD uniform?  Which is newer and would have need fresh medal ribbons.

Pete - suggest you leave the ribbon on!

Jebber

That's very kind, thank you

Pete - it looks as if you have taken the para wings off, suggest you put them back!
