Freddie,

I was duty pilot on that day. The AOC and the Air Commander were also stranded on the Caye. The AOC wasn't slow in authorising a single engined transit.

"Oh yes, we'll organise some landing lights for your return" said the Det Cdr.

He forgot and went to the bar. We had to use the bar lights to find the Caye and let down onto the airstrip.
