That being achieved, I waited. Desert silence is very loud. Soon, dust from the West, that being the direction in which lay the 'bad guys.' Walking stick and pistol, not much use. The dust turned out to be a 'Pink Panther.' Passenger accepted, Land Rover headed West, and I went South.
Easy really. Passenger next seen on a course at secret Welsh airfield some years later.
Resupplying the khaki beret boys in southern Oman circa 1960. It always felt like a minor miracle when we both arrived at the same place at the same time!
