RAF Station Aquir

                                                           At Aquir , I ran two courses and that was it. We were getting out of
                                                           Palestine and by this time we really couldn't have cared less what
                                                           happened. We had a ringside seat to the war that was going on
                                                           particularly the battle to open the road to Jerusalem. Despite
                                                           all this we did run two courses, the following photos show the
                                                           graduates.
