We were out there in 86 I think it was, and were told that if the aircraft that wasn't there wasn't towed past us on the taxiway we were to turn round with our backs to what wasn't there. I was also told off on day 1 of the detachment for getting lost looking for GEF and parking the landrover outside a hangar while I asked this bloke for directions.
The fact that half of the south of Cyprus could hear an aircraft that wasn't there not take off in the morning was not relevant...
