Best? 280 SU at Oly in the mid 70s, we used to pity those down in the heat at Akrotiri and Episkopi.

Cool in the summer, skiing in the winter and everyone down at the bottom of the mountain clamouring to come to the weekend long gluwein parties with the saucepan of wine and eau de vie bubbling away on the bar.

All the VC-10 crews used to book their rooms and a party on the radio on their way in because we didn't split the crews and let the whole crew come along..
