Ah! The delights of the Dominie.
My first overseas as a stude was to Malta via Nice in January '67 with M.Pilots Chappell and Coulbeck. I remember taking off in snow and I'm sure we didn't give proper cognisence to surface contamination! Looking back in the logbook I see that twice that month we did Strad - Strad night trips lasting 3:30hrs. I can't remember how much div fuel we carried, but it must have been just fumes!
Subsequently on 2 refresher courses and also a tour at Finningley (Cse Cdr 267) it was always to Gib via St Mawgan and also using Porto/Monte Real/Tancos.
Great fun and the Dom soldiered on much longer than ever expected.
