Habbaniya 1958
Hi guys
One for former RAF National Servicemen! Habbaniya 1958, although handed over to Iraq, saw groups of RAF servicemen on detachment from Cyprus (and possibly elswhere) to assist the RIrAF. On the occasion of the assassination of Iraq's King Feisal II in July 1958, a number of RAF servicemen were 'arrested' and held for several weeks. Apparently a number of 'royalists' were executed at Habbaniya and their heads displayed on poles. Who were these unfortunate victims of the revolution? Does anyone have any information whatsoever? Cheers and HNY Brian Last edited by Brian; 31st December 2008 at 15:42.
