Dave, taking the above
Cyprus images on 17 March 04 writes, "Whilst on holiday in 1995, I
took these pics of the old camp which is now derelict and hidden away
behind a park. The main road was re-routed away from the camp therefore is
hard to find. The camp at Palios was in the process of being demolished
and the two photographed buildings were all that remained. Villa St
Barbara is still as it was. I think the camp in Pahpos was called St
George's Camp. When we left it in '75 we handed it back to the Greek
National Guard then it eventually became a junkyard. |

A few photo’s of Steve (Scouse)
Williams Jane Jen and myself in Townsville . He was up here visiting a
cousin and we met for a few beers and a meal.It was great to catch up on
the news from home, its amazing reading the Forum and listening to Steve
how upset we all are at the state of the country and the way its being
led. Perhaps the BNP is the way forward. Where do I join, is there a RTR
branch??. You will notice a picture of me laughing,( I was trying to
bollock him for a misdemeanour from 1982 in Cyprus but I must have gone
soft in my old age.) just shows I can.
Thanks Dave For These Images May 2004 |
