Two colleagues on 72 Nav Course were posted to Javelins on graduation in December 1965. This caused the staff some surprise, for nobody had gone in that direction for a while, and we heard that the reason for these postings was the deployment of Javelins to Zambia after Rhodesian UDI, declared in the previous month. In the event, I heard early in 66 that the postings had been cancelled - presumably the sixth course mentioned above - and I had rather assumed that training had stopped early that year.
