I think that this ferry was to Cyprus (probably from Gan), and that the excessive time in reheat resulted in the pilot (from 41 Sqn I think)
I think this tale was in Air Clues in the 80's a "I Learned about Flying from That" story.
I remember reading it as flying over Iran with one engine in full reheat and that has stuck in my mind through all these years. I thought it was odd at the time. Now I wonder why a Toom would be in Gan ?
