According to the official Machal website, a party was given for Margo by the Israeli Air Force the night before he flew back to South Africa. "As the evening wore on, a comradeship was born, with the help of Foreign Minister, Moshe Sharett, as raconteur. He recalled his experiences as an officer in the Turkish Army in World War I and sang Turkish army songs. When the party finally ended, Margo laid his hands on the shoulders of Dov Judah, one of the flight commanders he had appointed and said: "Dov, whatever happens, attack, attack, attack! The instruction was to become the incantation of the IAF, the psychological property of every O.C. and every airman."
