Not surprised on the votes for Akrotiri...stopped over dozens of times and it always seemed to be run on a part time basis, purely for the benefit of its inhabitants. Great for the "locals", not so much for the "customers".
There was an obituary for AirCdre North-Lewis in the Daily Telegraph last week. He was Station Commander when I worked in the Akrotiri commcen 1965-67. I never saw him, even from a distance, but would have recognised his diminutive form from the "know your enemy" photograph displays.
