Wensleydale's point about Aden (I think it was actually the Malayan Emergency)
Brigands equipped No 8 Sqn (Aden's Own) and was used on ops in the region. The attached photo shows the arrival of the Sqn's first Brigand which was written off after an argument with the radio mast behind SHQ at Khormaksar.
I do concur that it was not well liked - as was the Buckmaster that was used for training and communications at the same time.
