This is a classic chain-of-events incident.
1. An airport is built at Paphos with a parallel taxiway on the opposite side of the field to the terminal building.
2. The United nations embargoes the export of arms from Iran.
3. A U.S. Navy ship intercepts a Cyprus registered ship in the Red Sea carrying arms from Iran to Syria and orders it to Limassol, it's port of registry.
4. The Cyprus Government orders the unloading of 2,000 tons of explosives and ammunition and stores it next to the Island's main power station.
5. Two years pass by. BANG! Severe electricity rationing is enforced.
6. Two pilots with the Sun in their eyes approach 2 similar strips of tarmac, neither of which is lit but only one of which is marked with paint. They land on the wrong one.
7. Return to item 1, or 4, or 5, or 6.
Fortunately no harm was done but a long chain had been forged and lain unnoticed for a long time: it's lucky that it only lead to a banana skin!
