Oh What a Lovely War
The riots in Benghazi in 64 were by students at the university and were just the prelude to deposing the king. The British airbase near Benghazi kept things in control until the final collapse in 67 I suppose. Completely unrelated to World Wide, I was flying a DC-3 for Philips petroleum in Alexandria in 69 when yet another fracus with Israel stirred up problems and we had to shut down operations for a while. Did you ever make it to Leptis Magna or over to Cyrene when you were in Libya? Wonderful Roman and Greek ruins. I had pictures but haven't been able to find them.
