G-CPTN has it right. 1974 was when the Turks invaded to protect the Turkish Cypriots after the military coup led by Nikos Sampson.
What isn't in the history books is that it was also the night of the Akrotiri Cpl Club Xmas Dance & Draw. Expected to go on all night.
I had the task of closing it down by 23:00 to give all the LOP's an hour to get home before 23:59 curfew. Was I a popular person?
In the draw, I won a Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle. With several replacement switches and elements, it lasted over 20 years!
Today, you are lucky if the last 12 months and you can't get into them to fix them.

Re: Pilots and Divorce
AIDS has four stages.
1. You meet yer hostie, put your hand up her skirt and fall in love.
2. Your wife finds out.
3. You leave your wife for the lovely hostie.
4. The hostie dumps you.
I'm hoping to stay where I am, which is after 3, but not reached 4.
Truly though, aviation can put you in places where any man is vulnerable.

I was given some advice, keep the little woman busy; get a dog and kids. Got 3 dogs, 2 kids.
Also told her the pecking order. Whilst she accepted #2 it out an end to solo ski trips.
