Any United Nations rotary experience here?

Having regreted not asking for assistance sooner on these pages with my Whirlwind helicopter project:


I thought I would 'get in early' with regard to a new painting depicting United Nations operations conducted by the UK military. I was fortunate enough to visit Nicosia Airport last October and get some good pictures of the Control Tower. Those to whom this is familiar will know that it is quite a picturesque art-deco building which would provide a good backdrop to an oil painting depicting a BritMil aircraft; probably a helicopter. I have in my mind for it to be a Sycamore as I believe the present UN hangar, near to the tower, was the home of RAF Sycamores at one time. Not to say that other aircraft such as Sioux, Beaver could not be included assuming that they were colocated at Nicosia at the same time. Any thoughts, photos or dits most welcome.
