A larger than usual wooden wall plaque / mess shield 175x253mm. Very good, slightly dulled, with the supplier's ticket to the back (York Insignia Ltd). In recognition of Bahrain's maritime heritage, the emblem centres on a dhow at sea with St Christopher's staff to its sail, encircled by the Station's name and gold laurels, above which the Queen's crown, and below the Station's motto "In Sole Laborate" (Work in the Sun). It is undated but between 1958 and 1963. RAF Station Bahrain (or Bahrein) was founded in 1943, received its official heraldic emblem in June 1958, was renamed to RAF Muharraq in December 1963, and relinquished upon independence in 1971. During 1958-63 it was involved in airlifting support to King Hussein of Jordan following the Iraq Coup (1958), reconnaissance, supply drops and bombing runs during the Jebel Akhdar War (1954-59), a launching pad and nerve centre during the Kuwait Crisis / Operation Vantage (1961), and a staging post to reinforce British Forces during the Aden Emergency (1963).

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
