- Abstract: The file comprises correspondence between the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, the Political Agent at Bahrain, the Political Officer on the Trucial Coast and the Foreign Office, regarding a new civil air agreement for Sharjah, which was signed on 15 November 1951.The file covers the negotiations for the agreement with Shaikh Sultan bin Saqr al Qasimi [Sulṭān bin Saqr Āl Qasimī], until his death in March 1951, and the conclusion of negotiations - focusing primarily on increased pay for the airfield guards and rent for an extension to the airfield - with the new ruler Shaikh Saqr bin Sultan [Saqr bin Sulṭān Āl Qasimī] from March 1951 onwards.The file contains draft copies of the agreement and associated documents in English and Arabic, along with the final signed copy at folios 122-143.Also included in the file are details of new landing and housing fees introduced at Bahrain and Sharjah in 1951, and a request from the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Ethiopian Air Lines to use Sharjah airport as a technical stop on flights from Addis Ababa to Karachi and Dhahran.A series of file notes which were maintained as a record of the correspondence in the volume can be found at folios 2-5.Physical description: The main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 144; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.An additional foliation sequence is also present in parallel between ff 6-115; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are located in the same position as the main sequence.A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
