I was also priviliged during that tour to meet, at a Guest Night, 2 very distinguished RAF Pilots from WW2
Talking about WW2 pilots, my father flew Spits during the war ..... many years later and just a couple of years before retirement from the RAF, he was posted to Aden for 12 months ..... it was "Mad Mitch" days so I guess around 1965(ish) ...... he detested the place as most did ....... I often thought is was some $$$ of a $$$$$ posting to be given, a couple of years before his retirement
