After the Greeks & Turks started shooting at each other Dec 63.
The Turkish Air Force 'buzzed' parts of Cyprus with F-100's.
By the time the Javelin's at Nicosia were airborne, the F-100's were back in Turkey.

So the powers that be sent a Squadron of Lightnings to Akrotiri, it was 111.

Between their arrival, probably Jan 64 and my departure from Akrotiri, Oct 64. 111 gave at least one display there. Maybe it was Battle of Britain Day.
