Which Helis are in Cyprus

[cyclic_fondler]

The official raf website states that No 84 Sqn still uses Wessex in Cyprus but I thought they'd all been decomissioned.

Could someone enlighten me on what No 84 uses out there?

Thanks.

A mate of mine was out there last Easter and returned home with a large number of ariel pics of Akroteri (sp?) taken out of the door of a Wessex which was very much still in service.

The Wessex is indeed still in service with the RAF out at Akrotiri, however I beleive they are due to be replaced by the Griffon HC.2 aircraft of FB Heliservices from April next year.

Does anyone know if any of the ex 72 squadron wessex helicopters are being kept airworthy,I have to declare an interest, being involved with the Ulster Aviation Society museum at Langford Lodge, we still want to buy one.

Just returned from Cyprus last week, Wessex still there untill April where they will indeed be replaced by Griffins (4 of them)

Thanks for all the replies. I was having an argument in a pub over the weekend and I was convinced that when the Wessex were removed from NI that they were also leaving Cyprus at the same time.

******, looks like I owe somebody a beer or two !!
