Hi Danny,
On my course at Acklington in 63 we had a total of 29 with 11 guys from Iraq. We were told that they had come directly from training in Russia as those ruling Iraq had changed while they were away. They told us that the Russians had only allowed them to taxi in clipped wing Yaks, and that was as far as they had progressed. They completed the JP course with us, but not totally without incident. Apart from them I saw no other nationalties on my way through the machine.
