Overseas Happiness
Wyler
Glad you enjoyed El Adem. Its reputation wasn't all roses. Indeed Marham used to be called "El Adem with grass".
Flew the low level route from there (El A.) a few times. In the midday heat - a delayed take-off - it was as bumpy a ride as I've ever had.
But overseas tours often came up with unexpected results. I had a very enjoyable tour in Aden - flying out of Khormaksar in Shackletons. Mind you we used to get detached to Gan to provide SAR coverage in that region.
Incidentally does anyone know what happened to Gan ? It was a hell of a good airfield - a pity iof the termites have got it.
