Wow PpPop, thanks for that. I remember he leaflet raid but when I mention it folks think I'm mad.
Saw the Islander circling from staff canteen in the Royal Courts of Justice. Being a young enthusiast I bolted my chips and dashed outside to watch from the Strand. Thought for one awful moment as the bundle of leaflets exited that the a/c was breaking up, then the package dispersed and they began to flutter down like giant snowflakes. Took forever to reach street level and i
rather think I took a bollocking for big late back from lunch!!.
Memory plays some tricks though, was convinced the appeal was for the Vietnamese boat people.
Any other examples of airborne leafleting outside wartime propaganda?
