My only contribution was as a GE on Albert. It did ultimately lead to my early, enforced retirement, but at least let me experience a little of "operations". Like Beagle, KKIA was one of the bases I worked from, though my return to Lyneham was extended by a six week extension in Bahrain. I well remember the trips in to Kuwait, post friction, and the oil fires, particularly on night trips. While results of the sharp ends efforts, were hard to ignore;
Perhaps a conflict that received little publicity in respect of the effort put in by all elements of the deployed forces. Best to all who took part, I'm sure there's some good stuff to come.
