Pontius,
heli, did you mean Kingsfield?
No

16 Flt AAC operated Sioux, Alouette 2 & Gazelle during the 70's, 80's & 90's from a strip on the eastern side of UK Eastern Sovereign Base Area at Dhekelia.

Lat Long +34° 59' 38.51", +33° 44' 56.80"

Google 34.99403,33.74911

During the early 80's a Tarom AN26 mistook the runway at Dhekelia for the runway at Larnaca and came to a stop just short of the runway end. Most of the contents were removed to the Flight Bar so that it was light enough to take off.‎

The Islander from Netheravon Parachute Centre goes to Cyprus every year for training and was/is normally parked at the strip for security when there.
