RAF Abu Sueir-Egypt in 1950
Written by Joe Maughan (geordie)
Does anyone remember the night there was a mock raid on the camp.I can`t remember the exact date but it was round about the end of 1950 to early 51.I received an order to pick up an armorer and then proceed to Ismalai and pick up two Officers. When I picked the armorer up he put a box of fire works in the car and off we went for the Officers. On our back to camp I was told to put out my lights and pull off the road.We then went over to the tower and surpossedly captured the airman on gaurd.We then proceeded over to the fence the armorer started setting these fire work off.After a short while we heard the duty Officers whistle so we kept on moving round the fence.
