Description

Nicky Broyd reports on the thousands of Saudia Arabian men joining the civil defence as reservists. Many of the men are unfit and unprepared but are determined to serve their country. Broyd then looks at RAF preparations in the country. RAF volunteer Gary Small, from Jarrow, and his colleague Ian Callagher, from South Wales, speak of trying to fill their off-duty time, and needing to be prepared.
