Firstly, I quite understand what the author portrays in his Prologue - setting out the relationship between Bill and the SAS in early days, and the part that some members of 208 Sqn played in the Radfan, also in support of the SAS. No problem: it sets the scene nicely.
But I'm bemused with his first sentence of his para2 on page 1 where he says - Flying in support of ground troops was where 43 and 208, the other Hunter unit based at Aden really earned their crust. The two fighter squadrons practised relentlessly.
Seemingly 'ignorant' that No 8 Squadron was also there, and had been so for far longer than either 43 or 208; and played the dominant role in proceedings throughout the sixties and previously. Sorry 43 mates, but a count of operational sorties from the official records tells the tale!
No sour grapes intended, just a plug for my old outfit!
