Milltown & Cyprus

Homepage

I spent my first tour at 81SU RAF Milltown which, is near Lossiemouth. From there I was posted to 12 SU Episkopi Cyprus for 3 years. During my first year over there my unit was heavily involved with Desert Shield and then Desert storm, better known as the Gulf War. I received the Gulf war medal at the end of the conflict.

I did do some work while I was over in Cyprus. I am on the end of one of the ropes trying to get the 12-metre dish onto the base.

This shot was taken from a Wessex helicopter.
