Pete, Dave Joseland and myself took a Troop out from 19 Topo, Barton Stacey, in about Nov 1966, for a 5 month stint in Aden, attached to 13 Sqn. These photos are from that trip. The three of us had a 'tache growing contest, I'm sure Pete won. Al Roberts |

Pete at El Adem with MARA2 Why a RAF Landrover? Reply from Des Davey Simply because we didn't take our own transport, we travelled there on the RAF "milk run" flight that went Nicosia - El Adem - Luqa - Gibraltar and back, so we had to borrow from the RAF. |
