160 Squadron had a Lysander aircraft in addition to its Liberators This aircraft was used for "supply dropping" to army units on exercises. It was also used on other flights delivering photographs from the PR flights and collecting urgently needed supplies and equipment. F/Lt. Mullins flew this aircraft a number of times. |
"Operation Pigeon" This was an exercise to "home" in on the signals from a dingy off the coast and locate it. It simulated the techniques required for "Air - Sea Rescue". |
Sigiriya Rock was a dominate feature of the landscape at this base. |
