By Dylan Casper Jones

We entered this war as a peace-keeping force to ensure the safety of British Citizens and other Foreign Nationals and to transport them to the safety of the British Sovereign Base at Royal Air Force Station Akrotiri.We were not to engage the Turkish forces. We had been notified that there were Turkish Military road blocks along some of our routes. We were to request them to allow us through without conflict.We were not to open fire. On one occasion we were fired upon, but were not authorized to open fire ourselves. We were a peace-keeping force.Historical information and some of the operations that involved us are covered in this book.The Turkish airborne assault into Northern Cyprus, the attack on the warships approaching Paphos, the Battle at Kyrenia are only some of the events covered.We were a peace-keeping force and were not to take an aggressive part in this conflict.We did not operate under the UN Banner.
