From RADFAN site:
In March 1959, 208 Squadron disbanded and on 1 April, 142 Squadron was renumbered 208, still flying Venoms out of Eastleigh. This situation continued until May 1960 when the last Venoms were withdrawn and broken up. Shortly before that, in April 1960, the unit’s pilots had been flown back to RAF Stradishall to collect twelve ‘new’ Hunter FGA.9s and a T.7. These were flown out to Kenya on 1, 2, and 3 June 1960 and were operated mainly out of the civilian airport at Embakasi in support of No. 24 Brigade. Second line servicing was carried out at Eastleigh.
After a year in Kenya, 208 Squadron moved up to assist No. 8 Squadron in the protection of Kuwait in July 1961, moving to its new home base at Khormaksar once the crisis in the tiny oil-rich state was over. Here the squadron remained until May 1964 when it departed Aden for the sanctity of RAF Muharraq.
208 Squadron history
My father was on 208 Squadron at RAF Eastleigh and then moved to Khormaksar taking the family with him, I had some great times at both places as a kid.
