59. An attempt to hold an air review on the anniversary of
the Coup d T Etat (B2nd February) proved to be a dismal
failure. On 21st February four pilots reached Ahwaz with
orders to fly the Furies to Tehran in time for the review
next day. Time aid not permit of compasses being swung,
no maps were available, and weather conditions were
unfavourable. Three of the pilots arrived at Tehran on
27th after various adventures in the mountain snows where
they had been forced down through lack of petrol. The
fourth pilot arrived safely 10 days later/having missed
Tehran by *200 Kilometres and being forced to walk for two
days to the nearest telegraph office to enable him to order
more petrol.
60. In spite of this debacle, a review of sorts was held,
and consisted of three formations of three aircraft each,
followed by a fourth containing five aircraft flying rather
aimlessly over the aerodrome. A Hendon display was hardly
to be expected, since on the day before the review, General
Nakhichvan, commanding the air force, said that no
programme had been arranged, but he thought they might do
some aerobatics in formation. As this had never been
practised before, he was a little doubtful whether it would
be a success. His opinion was probably confirmed later the
same day by his own experiences for, when landing, he
crashed and turned his aircraft on its nose.
