OK, I have been reminded of when I had the opportunity to take pictures of the Red Arrows practicing in Cyprus. I have to say there is no better backdrop, but 12 years ago I didn't have the kit I do today, even so I felt a bit of a theme coming on when I sorted through the pictures.
Oh how lovely, this brought back memories. We lived in a village called Erimi in Cyprus for 8 months in 1983 before we moved into a married quarter at Akrotiri and one of the young boys next door in Erimi called Alexandros came to the airshow at Akrotiri after the Red Arrows had been there for a couple of months doing their annual routines. We have a photo of Alexandros in one of the Red Arrows planes (we knew the pilot). My daughter is in Cyprus at the moment on holiday and Alexandros still has the photo. Cyprus was one of our best postings. Three years there was fabulous. It was going back to the UK after Cyprus that decided us on coming to Australia. David left the RAF and joined the RAAF and we came here in 1990.
