Topic: RAF Nicosia


  
  Guatemala since 1954
While the British felt the presence of RAF Harriers effectively neutralized the advantages of FAG A-37s without ever confronting them, the FAG was out of condition to mount offensive operations on larger scale.
The Pumas — eventually organized into the No.1563rd Flight RAF — are known to have supported several SAS operations along the Guatemalan border about which almost nothing is known: even less is known about the activities of the Guatemalan Army’s Kaibila units, for which is said to have undertaken several reconnaissance operations into Belize.
They were relatively unique for RAF, in being permanently equipped with rescue hoists and Nightsun lamps, and flown by a single pilot and crewman.
