For all those who remember HMS Jufair in Bahrain, I feel that this can be seen as the confirmation that the old base that was closed down in 1971 is about return in new guise! I remember being on HM ships at Mina Salman with the joint forces command being on board having closed all the other facilities on the island the night prior to the final pull out. A Scots piper played a lament on the bows of the ship, and the ensign lowered slowly! And that was officially the end of Britains presence East of Suez .... It didnt last long!! HMS Jufair was established in 1935 thus there be a celebration next year !! arabianbusiness/uk-expand-bahrain-military-presence-543906.html
