Auster Flight RAF Ismalia in 1948
written by Bill Evans
 We flew Austers patrolling the boundary wire fence surrounding Tel el Kabir army base . I had inherited a mini Pi dog called Squibs who slept under my bed in the officer’squarters.
Squibs was always at the flight office when I took off and remained there greeting me when I landed . One day he was not there to greet me . I looked everywhere for him suspecting he may have been looking for a lady friend . At last I went to the Station Warrant Officers
office . He told me the service police had rounded up strays to shoot them. Unfortunatly the W.O. knew Squibs and made no attempt to save
him . I t was not a service matter so I had to contain my wrath .
I also inherited a magnificent Packard straight eight belonging to a Sqn.Ldr posted to Italy . I had to leave the car behind on a posting to
Castel Benito Tripoli . I left the Middle
East in 1949 to fly Dakotas at the end of the Berlin Airlift .
