I too, in my time, a la 22/7 MASTER, was roused from my slumbers and sent at very, very short notice, with my boss, Eastwards. We too were told to wear full cabbage kit and carry bang sticks etc.
We too were told (by the steward of the VC5) that we had to get changed into civvies, the reason being, that if the aircraft diverted to another country, the pair of us could be seen as an 'invasion force'.
A two man invasion force! We were good, but not that good!
Sorry, just realised. Way off thread
