The details I have thus are is the it was 1st July 1961, operation vantage. HMS Bulwark landed 42 (and 45 followed later??) commando with hunter and Electric Canberra aircraft in support from UK,Aden, Kenya and Cyprus. "V" force aircraft were on standby in cyrpus.

If anyone can find/have other info then I`d appreciate it greatly
