XR368
Fris B, JW411,
Regarding XR368 and the delay in Darwin - my Father's logbook has some dates that may be relevant. He was a mover (UK MAMS at that time?) and I was a brat left at home in Abingdon.
XR368 left Brize on the 5th Dec '74 and arrived in Darwin on the 10th (via Akrotiri, Masirah, Gan, Tengah, Brunei). It looks like it departed Masirah and then returned to Masirah after flying for 5 hours.
Upon arriving at Darwin it spent 8 days on the ground until heading to Woomera on the 18th, back to Darwin then to Tengah on the 20th. It looks like my Father finished the last part of the route in a Brittania (XM490) arriving back in Brize in time for Christmas (almost midnight on the 21st).
If you remember flying with Gerry P***** any insights or anecdotes would be very welcome.
