UN Convoy
@Herod, I certainly do remember the convoy. I was only young at the time though. My father, now retired after 30 years in the RAF, was posted there in 1969, and we left in 1972.
I can still remember arriving at Akrotiri in August 1969. It was so hot it felt like landing in the middle of the Sahara desert. And going back to the UK in November 1972 felt like going back to the arctic.
We lived in Berengaria; does anyone else here remember it?
One of the things I do remember is the convoy, although my memory of it is that we just drove straight past it.
I have a lot of other memories as well, not strictly relevant to this thread, but the 8-hour flights to and from the UK on the Britannia is one of them.
