If it was indeed in 1968, I was at El Adem in July 1968 doing the night flying part of a Hercules conversion course (there were too many retired admirals living in the Thorney Island (242 OCU) area to do it there). We were flying in the same circuit as a Hunter, but flying much wider ones than he was accustomed to. As a result he ended up on an extended final (for him) and got far too low, resulting in the cart tracks mentioned by Ken Parry above.
I think he was doing a refresher course himself, so we felt some sympathy for him. The two a/c types doing night flying training together were incompatible in my view, and better planning might have prevented what could have been far more serious than some dented pride.
