I am looking at it now as it is hanging in my Study. Unfortunately badly faded as it was in the conservatory initially. It did not go down well with my Army friends as our AB205 had main staging as opposed to the troops themselves.
That was Op Simba at Mainbrace in early 1972, well and truly taking the War to the Adoo, and for the next few years we were in and out almost daily. It was thanks to the Sher****ti Kid with his HMG in the caves there that I ended up with a crash landing on the runway, a written off 205, and another fractured spine and concussion.
Happy days and memories, and hard to believe that it was over forty years ago. I am a lifetime member of SAFA and it is sad to see that the number of obituaries of my old friends and colleagues increases annually.
