SECRET DRAFT SERVICES-ASSISTED EVACUATION 0? THE <•• • BRITISH COMMUNITY FROM UGANDA ' ' • 1." Under the Services-assisted evacuation (SAE) plan (Operation SPARVA) evacuation would be "by RAF aircraft (almost certainly VC 10s) deployed from the UK. Evacuees would be flown from Entebbe Airport to Nairobi (the preferred 'safe haven1) or alternatively to Kinshasa, by a shuttle service. 2. Once approval of PCO and MOD Ministers to implement the plan has been given, and been promulgated by the Chiefs of Staff, the first aircraft could arrive in Entebbe in U2 hours. The operation would be completed in a further 18 hours. The necessary aircraft are available and the Ministry of Defence are ready to implement the plan. 3. The SAE plan would normally only be implemented should evaucation by civil means be impracticable - for instance, if commercial airlines refused to fly into Entebbe because of disorder. U-.
