Yes there are, I'm one. Eight happy years Crew Chiefing on 44(Rhodesia)Sqn. The mention of Akrotiri brings back some memories. I was on the way back from a weekend Ranger with a pannier full of the cheap and cheerful and the cabin loaded with fruit when Number 3 engine starts chucking oily fumes into the cabin. Divert!! WHAT and loose all the fruit and the goodies in the bay, no way, masks on, toggles down and press on. We landed OK, the 'sooties' wondered were all the oil had gone? I said all over Europe and my lungs. Those were the days I saw the BBMF film and was very impressed ,some good news for a change.
