Doug,
woolie pullies were not worn in the old days at RAF Muharraq for nothing. The winter WX out there seems to have caught many by surprise. These things happem when the corporate memory of OOA ops fades.
When the balloon went up we were in the a/c at night at Akro ready to start when we were recalled to ops. Went next morning. What a faf the transponder change regime was until an outbreak of common sense binned it.
I was then based back at Lyn after we were the first 'K' into Riyadh to set up the UK Herc Det . Somewhere amongst the back posts is a pic of my copy of that Op Order. Went to 'Q' once but my log book is as blank as my memory as to why.
