So glad I found Forces TV. Really great stuff. When I was USCG Aviation, I tested our fuel for each flight I crewed. These guys are good 👍Thank you 😎

Did that job my self back in 82/83. Broght back lots of memories. 👍

Best posting in the Forces since we let HKG go. Should pump the Sultan in Brunei to expand our RN and RAF presence there and establish bases. The next decades are going to get very interesting in that part of the world.

Did that refueling from Airfield Mt in 81/84 enjoyed my 3 year there.

That was interesting. Thanks for uploading.

My Late Father was posted to Cyprus in 1974, From the Royal Engineers whilst serving with the UN at the old Nicosia International Airport , in actual fact his camp was opposite Nicosia Airport . We arrived from BZ at Akrotiri ( which means Cape in Greek ) and left four months later due to the invasion of the Turks. Lovely Island home to Aphrodite, Goddess of Love .Sagapou Kypro.

Always glory in the sky, keep it up lads

That brings back memories I was doing that 5 year ago

Cliff was one of the best NCOs I worked for.

Enjoyed my time at Akrotiri. Sgt Mason 501 STRE

That was my job in 1967 on Tasf

June in Cyprus and they're rugged up! What happened to the Mediterranean summer?

i know jon lol well,, used to. nice guy

*_Hello from Dubai._* ☺️♥️🇦🇪🌺

He should have bonded before connecting the hose at the bfi

looks like TMF need to change those HEPC handles from those drivers dragging them over the tarmac.....

I don’t know why I’m surprised that the MOD charters fuel tankers i just assumed that the RFA was the one refuelling the over seas military bases given that they already operate tankers ok yes they are replenishment tankers but surely they can act as normal tankers and even if they can’t I would have still thought that they would have at least one standard tanker because even if there isn’t enough work for one tanker for the whole year they could always offer the service to allies just like how their replenishment ships have replenished allied naval vessels

Where are the Red Arrows btw?? Stopped operations in CYP?

Can we be part of the UK again? :-(

All I can think of is the strong smell of JP8.....no thank you.

27 million litres is 21000 tonnes

Not mentioned is the microbes that can grow in the tanks. If not controlled, they produce a slime that can gum up the works, both on the ground and in aircraft.

Nasty stuff those additives, especially the anti ice, carcinogenic.

Logistics, a commonly overlooked part of the war machine by internet 3 star generals.

Crab Air doing its thing ...

707 and no smoke?

The Swan, mom's, watering hole anyone else remember them

My cousin is currently deployed in Cyprus , keeping the peace between the Cypriots , Greeks and the Turks , for the United Nations , but he’s probably happy about that he had just come back from Afghanistan ., Long Live Great Britain , Viva Britannia .

The Navy has tankers in its fleet, why don’t they use those?

I’ve done this in the civilian world. Interesting as the processes s are exactly the same

LOL “we cant under estimate the training value of coming to akritori” so nothing to do with the location 😂😂

Last I checked ISIS is pretty much beaten now, mainly by the Syrian army at that also. So what exactly are they bombing now?

What is the UK still doing in Akrotiri? What help have you been when Turkey invaded? What is your function in Cyprus?

In Cyprus in 80s lovely beaches though exorcise could be painful on those b****** bushes 🤣🤣

Cyprus is Greek

Where's akotiri? Doesn't sound british

These r the nerds of the military then?

You have just given the enemy the information they need to hurt the RAF.

raf is an occupying force in Cyprus as well as the turks and they both resemble in the fact they have repeatedly commited crimes against humanity and war crimes there and elsewhere !
