Hi All,
When I was in that part of the world (early-50’s) Tocra would have been GMT+2hrs (as would the whole of Libya). Yugoslavia would have been GMT+1hr? The distance from Tocra to Kosinjski Zamost (if that’s the one near Sevnica?) is nearly 900 nautical miles! Your Liberator would have been pushed to do that in under 3 hours?!!!! The RAF always tried to use GMT for operational flying – wherever they were. The Army, however, nearly always used Local Time (You can have no idea the confusions that caused!! And I don’t think we ever discovered what time system the Navy were using – but lots of bells were involved!!) Something don’t add up!! I think Errol is right – that medication should have been patented!!
