Smudge .. you forgot to mention ...1971 .... Akrotiri Village and Heroes Square .. both "out of bounds" .. as were several other places on a weekly changing basis ... arriving crews had to have a Police Brief in the Movements Bar on arrival ... as a very new Sgt Engineer my skipper was adamant I wrote down all the places mentioned and to ensure i took the list out that night .... As a naive youngster (the first time) I was somewhat surprised that the list was given to the taxi driver with the instruction "take us to the best of these" .....
It was somewhat surprising that the kebab house "entertainment" was watching the waiters dodge the traffic as they carried your food across the road in Limassol ... side bets on casualties being par for the course ...
