Drifting the thread just a bit, might I ask if that Prentice was subsequently flown to South Africa via Khormaksar?
Yes, that's the one, routed from Sharjah to Masirah, then Khormaksar, then onward.
2 intrepid RAF officers, Pilot and Nav, did it, and sold it when they got to Durban. The idiot who flew it from Gatwick to Sharjah, map-reading all the way was, of course, in the Army, seconded to TOS.
