Off on a different tangent, is there by any chance a pilot on here from the Khormaksar Hunter Wing who recalls escorting an Argosy during a leaflet dropping sortie up to the northeast of Aden on the afternoon of 31 December 1966? An unexpected bit of end-of-year fun after flying a morning's continuation training. We landed from that to find that this task had come in and that my fellow Navs - DougieM and others - had volunteered me and then gone off to the Mess to prepare for New Year. A pair of Hunters had also been set up for the occasion, we briefed with the pilots and set off upcountry and, about an hour later, were delighted to see them diving in front of us as we approached the first dropping point. There was no particular threat that we were told of and I've no idea what the leaflets said, but it was a pleasant afternoon's sport.
