I have a funny memory from being in Aden in late '67.In the mess at Khormaksar a story went around that a Cranberry BI6 Driver,had tried to formate with a Great Bustard over the Desert.The said enormous bird was duly ingested,much to the Navs disgust,and a single engine landing was successfully made.The Pilot happened to be a Senior Officer who was known locally as the "Gnome Strangler".Does anyone remember this?I remember one Michael(Manx)Kelly and his Cowboy Boots putting on a great Remote Control Model Aerobatic display in the evenings.
