I got tasked to Prague in May 1994 for 2 nights. Not JACIG, but with a small flight from 47 Sqn. We were briefed to keep it quiet that we were English as we were not to draw attention to ourselvesas they were not many English tourist there and it would be difficult to be unobtrusive.

Landed, did the offload, Hercules departed and the MAMS team were taken to the hotel and told to go and explore by the Embassy staff. A trip in another taxi to Wensesles Square to find the place was full of English coach and hundreds of English tourists. So much for keeping quiet about being English....

Have to say that Prague was one of the best night stops I had.
