During Eagle's last commission (the Grey Funnel Line Far East tour de force) a compassionate flight in an 899NAS Sea Vixen departed somewhere between HK and Singers late in 1971. I can only recall hazy details but I do recall a slight delay to arrange diplomatic clearance for the flight to pass through South Vietnamese airspace.

No doubt there would be an aluminium death tube driver out there who would have more accurate details?
