RAF in Jordan 1958
I would like to correspond with anyone directly involved in the RAF action in Jordan between July and October, 1958; following the request for assistance received from King Hussein after the coup in Iraq.
As I understand it three transport squadrons were involved:
70 Squadron with HP Hastings
84 Squadron with Beverleys
216 Squadron Comet C.2
One fighter squadron, 208, with Hunter F6s deployed to Amman.
Shackleton MR2s from 42 and 204 squadrons.
Also I'm trying to find out what FAA squadrons were based on HMS Eagle in the latter part of 1958. can anyone help?
