cyprus 1974 turkish invasion in 2002
written by albert wyllie-shovlin
 iwas an senior engineer on board a ship berted in famagusta harbour, when the invasion started. we recieved a wireless message from london, saying in effect, "bug out" now! it takes time to prepare a ship for sailing, so we had cleared the harbour when the turkish aircraft arrived. we had a grandstand view off the airborne troops etc arriving. i gather,that the intelligence servicess were incredibly lax.an invasion on the scale used, takes planning etc. it would appear that warnings were given, just prior to the event beginning! |

There is nothing worse than breaking down. But if you do, the RAC have more than 1,500 patrols ready to rescue you, whether you are at the shops or on the motorway. They will always try to fix your vehicle at the roadside, but if they cant they will make getting it repaired as painless as possible.
