BastON,
I wouldn't want to get into a tiger can throwing contest with you on here but I do know my Whirlwinds from my Wessex and my RAF officers and NCOs from my RN officers. Similarly I know that I was commissioned in July 65 and flew to Singapore in Sep 65, attended JWS Sep/Oct 65 and flew to rejoin my battalion (who had deployed a month ahead of me) in Nov 65. We had taken over from an RBMR Regt and handed over to a Gurkha Bn in Mar 66. Shortly before we left we had a planned op on the 'other side' and in order to get the Company up to the border in one go the FAA came down from Bario (I think) with their Wessex to get the job done.
By late 66, IIRC, confrontation was as good as over.
