Many thanks Guy & David.
We are all worried, my elderly mother especially so. My brother speaks fluent Arabic & has official permits to move around after the curfew but things could easily go wrong.
He works as a journalist so will have plenty of material for the future....

Have you got your brother back from Cairo yet, Charles? I see they're sending out another plane to pick up British nationals.

sorry i missed this post Guy...

he has stayed on & managed to get in to work each day somehow. his newspaper did not miss an edition throughout the troubles, although it was often slimmer than usual

thank goodness he was not working in Libya

The only butterflies I ever saw in the course of numerous visits with the RAF to Libya in the 1960s were African Grass Blues Zizeeria knysna.

We were in Tobruk just before the revolution which swept MG into power. I remember Hummingbird Hawk Moths but not butterflies, although no doubt there were some around. We used to collect scraps of shrapnel & bullet casings from WWII which were around the beach club. Happy Days
