Message: Arrived at RAF Akrotiri in Sept 1994 and hated it!3years away from home and with 2 small kids and pale skin even the sun
couldn't sway me. Then i met Toni James and Maureen Butter and things
changed. We became firm friends and had a ball. My sons were 6 and 2 and we had a baby girl at TPMH in 1995.My eldest is now 18 and at
Uni! Doesn't time fly? When i look back now i really miss the place.
Looking at pics from present day on website it has changed a bit. Been home now for 10 years but i can still remember walking to the shops at 8am to escape the mid day
heat. Hope anyone reading this who remembers us (Steve, Tracey, Adam,
Danial and Ellie) gets in touch.cya |

Arrival Date: 1991
Message: Arrived in Jan probably at the best time of year as it gave me chance to acclimatise with the gradual build up of heat. I remember going out one morning to my gizzit and having to scrape frost off the windscreen with my 1250! Worked (if you could call it that) on TASAF then VAHS when we stopped fixing Hercs & VC10's and just parked them up. Cannot think where I was when the section photo was taken in Laurie's message but recognise many of the faces there, where are you all now? |
