When Syrians Fought the British (Meteors vs Canberra, 06 November 1956)
During the 1956 Suez Crisis, British recon airplanes from Cyprus were regularly overflying Syria and Iraq, looking for a large number of MiG fighters that had supposedly been delivered by the USSR. Syria had no MiGs at the time but they had twelve Gloster Meteors purchased from Britain a few years earlier. The country had no early warning radars either but an Egyptian pilot instructor and a Syrian army officer came up with a plan to intercept British Canberra reconnaissance aircraft. A future president of Syria also participated in what would become the last RAF airplane shootdown by an enemy fighter.
