The aftermath of that attack included a terrorist attack on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus since it was assumed the F111's had come from us there.

It could have been horrendous carnage with beaches packed with service families and civilians but fortunately they were not very well trained and made a bodge of it.

AK 47s, RPG 7s and mortars - not what I was expecting to see having just come from 2 years in NI to my (expected) sunshine and beach BBQ tour!
