摘要

I was driving back from bell-ringing in December 2015 and the little country road crossed over and above the A39 to Bideford - a four lane dual carriageway full of traffic. For a short moment I looked down upon a double line of red tail-lights and a double line of white headlights and suddenly- BLING! Late in 1963 our Hunter squadron (No. 43(F) The Fighting Cocks) had continued its daytime low-level armed cover sorties - to try and protect our ground troops in Aden -into the night. The Yemeni insurrectionists were getting bolder and causing increasing casualties to our brave guys on the ground. The sorties had to be flown by singleton aircraft, armed only with our redoubtable 30 mm Aden cannons. The name was nothing to do with the place but with Enfield back in the UK. The ground troop commander would have coloured two-inch mortar rounds fired into where he thought the enemy attack was coming from and his FAC (forward air controller - usually an infantry officer but occasionally an Air Force Hunter pilot with an FAC 'ticket'). Our job was then to shallow-dive (between 20 degrees and 30 degrees) onto the (usually) purple smoke from the mortar round and spray the area with some short bursts of 30 mm. It mattered not that we could not see the enemy, but the army were very pleased to see us raising merry hell in the enemy's direction.
