In Aug '64 I was with 45 Cdo RM in Radfan, Aden, and fell down a cliff. Scout winch too short , and longer winch sent up from Aden ,but can't recall whether it was a whirlwind (RAF?) or Wessex (RN/RM)
From my point of view (from underslung Neil-Robertson,) rescue involved some hairy hovering with 'fan' close to cliff, but safely delivered to Khormaksar hospital. wonder if there's an account of this rescue (e.g in a log somewhere)? Can anyone help identify?
