RAF Labuan in 1968 written by Taff Thomas
Was there the day a Javelin landed, taxied to the apron, shut down, aircrew disembarked started to walk away and the undercarriage collapsed. It was there for months.Got bitten by a Silver Krate snake going to the beach in the company of Dave our Army Jungle Warfare Instructor who managed to get me back to sick bay. Long story short they thought I'd be the newest member of the War Graves Cemetary on Labuan. Remember coming around some days later and frightened our medic .. Donaghue. Met Dave in Malta who told me the complete story. They sewed me into the bed blankets, thrashing, going hot and cold, when too hot soaked the blankets in water, too cold more blankets. Everyone sworn to secrecy once I was out of sick bay just in case the shock would finish me. Great lads, great time just 28 of us there to close the Station. |
