  • Runway 10 at RAF Akrotiri has altitude restrictions over the Cypriot village of Akrotiri. In Cyprus, we only have 3 runways available, 1 is on this airforce base and the other 2 are commercial (Larnaka and Paphos). It's all too easy to rely on a long and wide runway, therefore we practiced steep descents...it makes the round off way more interesting.

  • A steep descent/approach. Why not just glide, there would have probably been enough altitude for that.

  • U sure instructor wasn't called Marc Ims , his callsign was Gibbon when on lightnings at RAF Binbrook

  • I made my PPL there some 18 years back.  My instructor's name was Marc Gibbons. Anybody knows him?

  • I flew that plane a couple of months ago is it the yellow one with a black stripe ?
