Re: Troodos story
XI. It wasn't all fun! I think there may be a little exaggeration by the dispatch rider, but it could have ended up quite nastily. When an urgent message comes in, we were obliged to deliver it as soon as possible, day or night, in all weathers. At one particular moment, but about 01:00 hours, such ...

Re: Peyia Hand Made Pot Man
I'm not sure that the gentleman in question would appreciate being told that he was hand made.

Re: Troodos story
X. inspection A few days after we tried to blow up the camp with innumerable matches, the day loomed for our annual inspection. Bullshit was the order of the day. We had to wear full uniforms, smart and neatly dressed – they felt uncomfortable after weeks of much more informal dress. Our most senior...

Re: Retiral Age for Women in Cyprus
Maggie, it seems a very long time since I heard your dulcet tones on this forum; are you okay? I'm sorry to be totally at a loss to answer your question but if it helps, which it probably won't, my pension is paid into my Swiss bank account and according to the Swiss regulations. All the very best f...

Re: Troodos story
IX. I'm an idiot Every year, there was a general inspection of the unit by top brass. I was chatting with our quartermaster, who complained that he had a large carton full of safety matches in his store and he was upset that they would be found during the inspection. Somehow, he had acquired them wi...

Re: Troodos story
Hee-hee! You are perfectly 100% correct, the plane was not a DC3, it was a converted Lancaster bomber and, yes!, it did have four engines, possibly even Rolls-Royce Merlin, although I'm not sure about that.

Re: Troodos story
VIII. Life goes on, sometimes! The powers that be decided that we must be a lazy bunch and needed waking up. All of a sudden, about five bicycles arrived for our recreation purposes, or at least that was what we were told. They were good steeds with the name Raleigh. Two or three of us decided to gi...

Re: Troodos story
Hi Devil, I'm enjoying reading your story too! You are also a talented writer. Hope to hear more about what you encountered. Did you tell us what time (year) you arrived in Cyprus. I'm guessing it was late 50's or 60's. Cyprus was so different then, pleasantly undeveloped. There was a big clue in m...

Re: Troodos story
VII. A bed of roses? Yes, as a simple signalman, my main job was to ensure that transmissions from Cyprus to Egypt were maintained. This mainly entailed maintenance of the American transmitters, so that Fayid was updated at all hours of the day and night. One day, I was doing maintenance on some oth...
