ODD SPOTS

1968 – Tel Aviv, Israel – Two Syrian pilots who landed their Soviet-made Mig planes on the Betzet airfield in northern Israel told their interrogators that they were on a training flight, and mistook the Israeli airfield for one in Latakia, Syria.

1968 – Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – Eleven year old Pari Hera found an interesting, oval piece of metal on the edge of the school ground, so presented his find to the headmaster. The headmaster took one look, and immediately called Army explosive experts. It was a live hand grenade.

1968 – And a Claremont (Tasmania) woman received a letter from her globe-trotting son, saying he had spent a night in gaol, in a small Mexican town. The local police had heard that the assassin of Dr Martin Luther King was in the locality, so until they checked, all Europeans went to gaol.
