One of Britain's wealthiest men, an arms dealer who facilitated the 1970 coup in Oman.

Timothy Landon was one of Britain's wealthiest men, after a friendship with Sultan Qaboos.[1]

“The key British power broker with influence in Oman is Timothy Landon. In 1970, the sultan ran a bloodless coup against his father with the help of Landon, a British military and intelligence figure. Known as the "Lawrence of Arabia" of Oman, Landon, who now lives in England, was the sul­tan's college buddy at Sandhurst. According to British intel­ligence sources, Shackley has a working relationship with Landon's associates and operatives.”
Timothy Landon (24 June 1988)  [2]
