I was in Paphos at the weekend and noticed two of what looked like WWII bombers in a compound at the end of one of the runways. Does anyone have any info ?

A pair of ex-RAF Shackletons brought by a Cypriot busineesman after the RAF retired them.

They have been there for at least 6 years, thats the first time I was in Paphos and they were there - if the same ones :-) I would love to rot in the sun with them - no such luck!
