LM, I was probably in Cyprus around that time. Probably 1972 but every month 56 dropped on in Limassol Bay. Then one month they were in UK for an MPC and the visiting sqn on APC dropped one instead.
A friend of mine, later AVM, wrote his sqn article for the stn mag and commented that is was nice to see the visitors keeping the stats up. Someone had a quiet word in his shell-like and said they were lucky so far as no one had lost their life as well.
I remember one event, I think the pilot was Martin C***s. He was in the bar, wrapped in a blanket, large puddle of water gathering at his feet and talking 18 to the dozen. (Slower talking as he was also sinking pint upon pint of beer. Outside was the blood waggon waiting to whisk him off to PMH to see if he was OK.
