You were in the Western SBA area near Limassol. RAF Episkopi (HQ NEAF) with RAF Akrotiri just up the road.

RAF Episkopi now Joint Forces Episkopi. We were out in 70 - 73. Both at RAF Episkopi. OH 112 Sqn. In 1972 I was based in Limassol at the Families Medical/Dental Centre in the NAAFI area.

Have asked OH but neither know any of the names.

Which end of the island were they based ?

I know some people who served in Cyprus around that time.

Did they leave because of the Greek / Turkish troubles or were they just posted elsewhere?

Subscribe? ;-) :-) Do they have a 'free trial'?

If you're lucky a GR member who subscribes to Forces Reunited might spot this thread and message on your behalf. Don't hold your breath though.

There are lots of ex service people retired here in Cyprus Sharon. It is a possibility that some of the group may be here. Names aren't known by me but there are so many Brits here.

Have you tried Face Book as lots of people out here use it to keep in touch with people in the UK.

Hope this helps :-)

You could try searching this site (Search all members trees - top right under 'search') but with a wide range for the year of birth. An alternative for Tony might be Antony or Anthony.

If any of the names are listed, even if the presumed yob is a bit out, send the tree owner a message to ask if they may have been in the RAF.
