Somebody flew the Saigon Air Attache's Devon around.

We had a visit to Labuan by the UK standarisation unit that had an American on secondment. He was worried about flying in a war zone, (something about his life insurance), but he did do a few circuits on the airfield.

We used to have a lot of HF interference, and presumably vice versa, from American radio traffic. During one particularly difficult time an American voice came up with.
"Get off of this frequency. Don't you know there is a war on."

To this our hero replied.
"Yes I do, but we are winning ours."
