PAXboy you will have missed a real treat unless they go back to Akrotiri! I still vividly remember staying with friends on married quarters in the mid 80’s. Coming out onto the veranda for my breakfast tea and toast in the morning and having the pleasure of watching them practice was absolutely brilliant. They probably did other practices later in the day but by then I was down on the beach doing my own practicing of how to hit the water without hurting myself too much. Otherwise known as learning to water-ski. Then it was copious amounts of alcoholic fluids to stop dehydration – I was on holiday from RSAF Tabuk working on their Lightnings. Don’t know what it was like there for the guys during GW1 & 2 but our home brew was an acquired taste!
