Re. the Dome hotel and the Harbour Club - Bev crews were allowed 3 days 'R&R' at the Dome after a week or so in shared tents on Niccy airfield. The trip there, in 3 tonners, was hair-raising at the hairpins on the descent on the Kyrenia side. The Harbour Club was excellent for night time activity and, until the house was trashed 3 years ago, I still had one of their bar cards which carried a description of downing Brandy Sours concluding with something like "I'm not half as thunk as some drinkle peep I am ..." the rest has faded with the departing brain cells - an effect of Brandy Sours, perhaps??
Niccy airfield was also where a demo of a Bev landing with brakes on caused considerable chaos and the Cyprus Airways Trident diversion. It was also where the perils of Bev towing with nobody on the brakes was shown to be VERY expensive.
HOW LONG AGO!!!
