93 Sqn Linebook No. 2 - Page 21 - Sandy Sanderson appears to have incurred some wrath by beating up the Army.   The F540 for 4 Sqn describes Exercise Guest as follows: "This month's Exercise Guest was very much enlarged to include land forces on a full scale 'paper exercise' ; it was renamed ' Synthex Guest'.   From the Squadron point of view however the conduct was unchanged.   4 Squadron was employed solely in the I.D.F. role and operated from the N.E. dispersal.   The briefing was at 05.45 and our first four were standing-by on the O.R.P. at 06.50.   They were scrambled at 07.25 and thereafter flying was continuous until 17.40.   With the exception of two pairs, all our operations were in fours ; unfortunately most of the scrambles were for standing patrols.   Interceptions were relatively few, but our claims included F.84.s, N.F. 11s, and some Canberras."   (Thanks to RAF Museum.)
