Another shot at Geneina showing "MT" standing in the cockpit of one of the Provosts. "MT" was to accompany me on the ferry from Khartoum to Nigeria but left for UK on our arrival there. He was to rejoin the war about five months later after "PM" was wounded. He was eventually killed flying a Mig 15 near Port Harcourt about a month after I had completed my contract and returned home. At the time that I was flying operationally in Nigeria we were not allowed to fly the Mig, but this rule was obviously changed after I had left and probably at a time when the Egyptian Mig pilots had also left. I expect the Nigerian Air Force faced a shortage of pilots and allowed "MT" to covert on to type. I understand that he ran out of fuel on finals at night, probably too low to eject |
