Ah the comfort of the Shack 2and 3 we of stronger stuff flew Gib , El Adam , Aden, Negombo [Ceylon ], 2weeks training with British and Asian navies , then Negombo Karachi ,Cyprus , Gib, all in Shack 1s with a full aircrew and 6 ground crew when I was with 224 squadron in 1952? 5 other Shacks loaded the same with all spares wheels and tyres and more spares we thought the R.A.F. ever had, very enjoyable, but were deaf as posts for days afterwards average times per sector 9 to 10 hours, seemed like days servicing the a/c during refuelling
