 RAF Flt Lieut. John Rishworth

This page courtesy of RAF Flt Lieut. John Rishworth. Standing on left with RAB 50 Enwia. These photographs are from his service with the Levies from 1953-55. He was attached to the1st Assyrian rifle squadron, commanded by RAB 100 Shlimon Bukho. 

Perhaps we can persuade John to write a little more about his experience?  John donated many photographs for this website, too many to display here, they can viewed in the photo albums.

......My wife Alison joined me in Habbaniya, We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the Levies. We spent two months in Ser Amadia during which time we went off on mules to various Assyrian villages, organized by Shlimon Bukho. My wife and I were able to travel around the area quite easily- wild bears were the only danger in those days....John
