Chugalug 2 and Shack 37
In '70 I was lucky enough to be the skipper of one of three Shack crews deployed to provide airborne Search and Rescue cover By Appointment to Prince Charles, who was to open Parliament in Bermuda on his way back from an official visit to Australia.
The day before we left Ballykelly, our support Herc arrived and the captain was Abe Lincoln! What a gentleman. I had not met him before, but our Boss and the Flight Commanders all knew him. Abe and his crew supported us tirelessly through Lajes, Bermuda, Nassau and Acapulco. A terrific two weeks.
