Bagdad
Can anyone recall an incident that took place in 1961. My mother, brother and myself were flying Cunard Eagle Airways from Stansted via Istanbul to Bahrain. For some reason we took the wrong course and flew into Iraq airspace. We were required to land and spent a few hot hours sitting on the tarmac in Bagdad before we were allowed to continue. I was 10 at the time, so my memory of the incident is not very clear. If anyone can give me any more details I would be much obliged.
