They flew several sorties over Port Alexandria well to the East of
Ciaro

BTW, Matt,
since when is Alexandria east of Cairo?

I tought on the History Channel they try to teach history, not
re-draw the maps....

If you read up on those raids the planes stayed over target for a long
time.
The premise falsly made was that the IAF did not fly that many hours to
need
to have pilots to rotate inorder to rest.

Aha. I see.

And this places Alexandria due east of Cairo?
