Correction on the Bev squadron, fairly certain 84 was still Valettas at that time .. we were there on 30 from Dishforth (before it went to Eastleigh , Nairobi) The other Bevs were 47 and 53 from Abingdon. Such luxurious accommodation too!
One safari bed in a two man tent on Niccy airfield, plus a cardboard box (bedside locker) and a hurricane lamp. Every 10 days, 2 days R&R at the Dome in Kyrenia and brandy sours in the Harbour Club ... "not half as thunk as some tinkle peep I am" - anyone else recall that from the Harbour Club membership card? nostalgia, mumble, blah, blah
