Hello. I'm just coming back from a nice trip in the incredibly beautiful Sultanate of Oman. As my hotel in the capital city of Muscat was located in the district of Ruwi, I spent a morning at visiting the nearby Sultan's Armed Forces Museum - and sure, I did not regret it! Below are some shots mostly related to the outdoor displays dedicated to RAFO :

          Two-seater Jaguar OB (commissioned 1977-2014), displayed at the place of honor in front of Bait Al Falaj Fort.

          BAC 167 Strikemaster and Hawker Hunter - Unfortunately, I did not collect full information about these models.

          Short & Harland Skyvan 3-SH1877 (passenger transport aircraft, commissioned 1970-2006).

 

I can't resist adding these few shots from a missile boat quite unusually displayed in the open ground :
