RAF 107 MU KASFAREET 1953-55

As Remembered By Alan Rose

I worked in the Station Sick Quarters as a Clerk/Typist and, after a short period following arrival of living in a tent, I moved into Billet 83 to share with other assorted bods. I did a few guard duties before being put on the roster for travelling armed guard when a patient needed to be transferred to Fayid Hospital at night. I would then have to draw a Sten Gun (which I do not recall ever having fired), and sit on the back step of the ambulance on its journey. If there was any danger, I was not aware of it.
