A Lebanese gentleman has sent into Pilot magazine a pic of what seems to be a Miles Aerovan taken in Baghdad in around 1952 (Pilot August p.38). There's a black cat on the nose and the company name Contracting & Trading Ltd.
Quite interesting - wonder what it's ident was and what happened to it.
(I know...consult the oracle!)
Would love to have had the onerous job of flight planning you back from Fairford to OW, Hairy. Bit different to planning tandem B-52s to their i/f refuelling rendezvous over the Oggin and then seeing them off to their respective bases (but I'm harking back to the mid-nineties now)
