Just playing Devil's Advocate....now that the Republic of Cyprus has formally agreed to accept responsibility for SAR cover of the Nicosia Search & Rescue region I reckon your lucky to get away with keeping the Sqn. I know that BFC maintains responsibility for the SBAs and any British Mil aircraft in the SRR but we've provided SAR cover for donkeys..perhaps its payback time!! As I recall you only get about 25 jobs a year and most of those involve putting out fires in Summer. . .. .As for the SH tasking side of the house, that used to revolve around giving the TA 10 min trips round the WSBA on their Easter and Summer holidays. Don't suppose you'd miss that.. .. .At least some of you are still in a job, but I do feel for the GCs, I recall most used to love it out there. I personally won't miss the lack of aircon in the quarters, the search for an honest car dealer, the smell of the fish counter in Orphanides and, surprisingly, I don't miss the LOA!!
