me and GMT watch in Libya

When we (Me and my GMT watch)worked in Libya for the Libyan Air Force it was under a contract with European Helicopter Establishment a company owned by Edwin P Wilson(Google him for more interesting reading).
From the press at the time.During the Libyan war between Libya and Egypt in mid 1977 Libyan officials had recruited a number of American mercenary pilot and technicians to fly and maintain the CH-47 and C-130 Aircraft. On 24 May 1977 both sides agreed to a armistice. Libyan casualties 400 dead or wounded.Egyptian casualties roughly 100 dead
