Hi John, I did Op Granby at Muharraq with an outfit called XV Sqn (groundcrew)..... you might have heard of them. From memory, you and JP didn't stick around for long
I do remember it was the 17(F) Sqn groundcrew that saw you off and when the XV Sqn boys came on shift at 0700 to find out that you and JP were missing, the mood was so dark. It had been a bit of an adventure up to then with our fancy 5* hotels. The reality brought us all down to earth. The other dark time came later on when Steve Hicks didn't come back.
Nice to see you post here occasionally. Hope you are well and good luck with the programme.
