Nairobi once a month ?, you had it easy we were doing it weekly, K/Sar - Perim - Hargeisha - Mogadishu (occasionally up to Addis Abbaba & Khartoum) Nairobi (Embakasi) - Mombassa - Dar Es Salaam to Salisbury with sometimes Matsapa then return picking up the Kenya Cold on way back to K/Sar (we were travelling ground crew with allocated airframes XP439 - mine), couple of days off then the Bahrain run, Ryan, Salalah, Sharjah, Masirah into Bahrain with the odd trip up to Shiraz. that was from Squadron start up in 62 right through to my leaving in 64, made good use of the airframes, for a break we sometimes did the Ataq, Beihan, Dhala etc runs, them's was the days when we had an Empire to keep going.
