For the pilots, I think it was Alistair Gordon who was the re-hirer and yes, Parabellum, I will go with you on your obs, it was only the cap (with badge) that we got issued with. My flying gear in Morocco in '68 was t shirt, shorts and flip flops - oh yes and the orange Mae West!!
If my memory serves me well, when I was working in Morocco, on my first posting with BHL, we were working 3 weeks on and one week off (the week off included the travelling time) and were paid the princely sum of £1800 a year. Doesn't sound much but was double what I was earning as a Lt with flying pay in the FAA!!!
