Left Cyprus in 1967 from 33 Sqn to Longmoor Camp, was up in Cairngorms on Op MACC to build secondary road up to the Ski Lifts in 1968. Remember Tinker Cobbold from JLR RE in 60`s (Bit of a Bohemian ! !). Am in contact with 2 others from same locations (Ginge Sutcliffe & Baz Meeks)...should know more as worked in office....but memory for names and faces fading !!

Spandau barrack
Were you at Spandau barracks when the first APCs arrived from Osnabruck. I was the Cpl who brought them there and helped with the training.
