Back to the 208 Sqn question....
I'm not that old but ISTR from my first tour on 78 Sqn (70-71) reading in the F540 that the 208 Sqn action had occurred.
Why was it in 78's 540?? IIRC the action was defending a 78 Sqn Dakota, hence the mention of it.
And why did it catch my eye? At the time 208 were also Gulf-based, and the "our sqn saved yours in 194whatever" banter was not unheard.....
..... then again, they do say that the older you get, the more accurately you remember things that never happened.......
