1982 - 1985, we lived at 17 Harding Avenue for the full 3 x years, and our daughter attended the Akrotiri Playgroup, picked up by the bus daily. I was in the Fire Service at the time, and I have to say that in the 12.5 years of service, Akrotiri was the best posting. One of guys called Dougie Fleming (RIP), managed to get 3 x tours in at Akrotiri, before he was sadly taken from us in a fatal traffic accident.
At the time we lived in Harding Avenue, many of our Army neighbours were from No1 Royal Tank Regiment, and the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. What a fantastic posting at the time. |
