£400 is a considerable sum for most people in the Yookay. You live in the Gulf too long - you become like the people in the Ritz Hotel. The tunbrils will be arriving soon !

Says someone who clearly has no idea how little money a junior-rank earns in the British armed forces, let alone a missing junior-rank's wife (with family), who will probably be having to find a new home soon (she won't be allowed to stay in the married quarter for ever)... I expect she needs every penny she has ever saved at the moment.

That's around a 1/3rd of the average monthly wage if you go by the figures released by the ONS, for full time employed. And about a months worth of effort from a part time employed..you know, for added perspective, whilst we wait for the tunbrils to arrive.

Poor buggers dead and buried, I personally don't think we'll ever find out what happened to him.

This isn't expatflange, we don't sugarcoat everything, cyber hug you and tell you its all okay.
We don't know what happened to Timmy. Suffice to say if team timmy came to Dubai expecting that some facetime with the local plod is going to bring answers, then I think you will be let down.
There is a whole big bad desert out there, whatever happened, whoever he pissed off, whatever...he aint coming back. Sorry and I wish and hope I'm wrong.
Have you ever got in a car and driven out to Hatta, RAK, over to Kalba..lots and lots of barren empty desert...

Anyway. There will be no discoveries based on her trip. Guaranteed...
