Westbound from Luqa we sometimes staged through Orange in the Rhone Valley when the headwinds were too strong to make a direct flight.
..and I might have done the refueling

But that would only have been after May 1958, when we moved the RAF Liaison Party north to Orange from Istres.

Heavily loaded Hastings were pretty regular visitors, though our main traffic was fighters, Beverley's and Valletta's.
