I doubt it.

My first visit [from EDUO] with family was rendered marvellous by a low and slow Canberra "this would be the way Guy Gibson did it ............." pass.
The air became very dusty and I lost the power of speech briefly.

I think these passes were a NO NO for safety and political reasons, but they happened, they happened.

In those days the scar in the dam was very discernible, but time has mellowed it.

We were two car loads of Brits, one with UK plates, one with the old BFG plates, and yet we were welcomed in a restaurant near the dam, fed and watered, and my brother-in-laws wallet, left behind on the table, was presented to him when he hurtled back half an hour later.
