Benson Memories
I recall two weeks ATC Camp in 1974 when over the middle weekend Cyprus was invaded and a WO in our mess who was Orderly Officer (?) spent most of the weekend to and from the Comcen reading signals.
Benson housed the Tactical Communications Wing (TCW) who "happened" to be in Nicosia Airport I believe, so our man was kept busy.
Our cadets nearly had to be sent home as families were being evacuated back to UK and our block might have been needed, but we stayed on.
I scrounged an afternoon on the Argosy Simulator. The guys running it let me and a mate get on with it and using the old style scenery (camera running overhead a large model) we were able to spend an hour or two pretending to do a 617 Squadron on the model lake in the scenery: "OK M for Mother , attack now".
