Very interesting Ian. I remember seeing that globe in a glass case in Marham Ops in the 70s when I was there. Beetham, by then an air commodore was my station commander at Khormaksar. He was a tough man, I had to attend his orderly room and give evidence about one of my chaps who was up on a charge. He gave the guy such a (well-deserved) tongue lashing when sentencing him that I was pretty scared myself! I thoroughly enjoyed my five and a half years on 214, and thought it was a shame that it was not chosen to be one of the K2 squadrons, and instead was disbanded in January 77.
