Album of Terry Deane (part 2)

UK Lincoln squadrons had frequently deployed to Shallufa in the "Canal Zone" of Egypt. on "Exercise Sunray". However, as a result of the deteriorating political situation in the 1950s, 49Sqn was despatched as part of "Operation Alacrity". Eagle Aviation York G-AGNM was hurriedly "processed" and became RAF Transport XA192. The picture was taken during the transit, via Luqa to Shallufa in March 1952. First leg......5hrs 50mins.

In April 1952 I flew in RF348 (pilot John Worrall) for a weekend break in Nicosia. Whilst taxying to dispersal, the port wing struck the Control Tower.
The outer wing was sheared off. Our return to Shallufa was delayed until RE361 flew out to collect tus. The picture shows our spoils of that trip once back at Shallufa. Terry Deane is 2nd from LHS.
