- Title:
- ‘File 2/21 II. AVIATION. B. ROYAL AIR FORCE. (3K) R.A.F. Landing Ground at Baital. Falaj.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence in the form of letters and telegrams related to the Royal Air Force's (RAF's) request for the acquisition of land to establish a landing ground at Bait Al-Falaj, and their request to obtain the Government of Muscat and Oman’s permission for the work to take place.
Most of the file is dated 1929, apart from folios 25-26 which are dated 1933. The letter in these two folios is sent from the Muscat Political Agent to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf concerning the landing grounds at Masirah, Murbat and Bait Al-Falaj. It is most likely that there are missing folios in the file dated between 1929 and 1933.
The main correspondents in the file are: Headquarters British Forces, Iraq; the Political Agency, Muscat; and the Political Residency, Bushire.
