Not in the 80's but the early to mid 90's I was the MTD tanker driver for 51 Sqn on 3 dets to Akrotiri. Great memories which include seeing a glider and being told I hadnt seen that. Lady Lamps for some squeaky cheese on toast. The sign on the road by the netball court saying this is an accident blackspot (a few near misses myself). Chris's kebab house down the strip at the end of det hoorah with all present with flaming sambucas and see who can keep the flame going after downing it and the good old sing song 'were going up sunshine mountain' with everyone stood on their chairs. When the Nimrod went tits up for 2 weeks was great too, up to Olympus with the techies for a few days skiing. Work very hard and play harder
