Didn't 29 sqn fly Javelins at Akrotiri in 1964ish or was it a detachment. I was on 249 at the time (canberras) and we certainly had them there. A Master Pilot name forgotten I am afraid had double engine failure just after take off and finished very close to the bomb dump. It was often told that you could not loop a javelin but had to get high reduce to 125kts invert then pull through. Never knew if that was true or not .Was it?
