KEITH L. H MSc.

1) In 1969 I was serving in the RAF in Cyprus I had a close friend John B. JB married in 1971 and in due course returned to the UK. His tour of duty was ahead of mine, which was to conclude in 1972. No contact was kept with JB and his family. I left the RAF in 1973, JB stayed in. In 1980 my wife and I returned to Cyprus for a holiday. Whilst there we decided to take in some of the old haunts, Lukas Bar in Limassol in particular. As I waited for service at the bar across a crowded room I heard the cry of , "strewth Keith H.!" It was JB and his wife who were again serving in Cyprus. On this occasion our links were maintained until JB passed away some 3yrs ago. 2) As well as RAF service I had 15 years in the Army, 1983-1998. Being a keen distance runner I went out on my usual Sunday morning run, apx. 0800hrs, autumn 2003, some half mile in to my run, a car stopped to ask directions to Swynnerton Army Training Camp,which was 10 miles from my home, it was one of my old mates from my Army days. We had not seen each other for at least 8 years. 3) In 1987 I took part in the 1st ever Everest Marathon in Nepal, that started at just below base camp. One of the organizers was a man named Tony Hunt. T.H. spent most of his time in the region. I completed the race and returned to the UK. In the early 1990's I was en route to Hereford, pulled up at a set of traffic lights in Worcester and saw T.H. dragging a piece of furniture into the entrance of an antique shop. I parked my car and remade my acquaintance with T.H., haven't seen him since. Hope these are of use. 4.) Whilst serving in the Army, I visited Scotland to join up with my Squadron who were on exercise. On the way up to the location I stopped off to stretch my legs, still some 80 to 100 miles from my exercise base. I walked down a narrow path to the waters edge where I found a small stone quay. I relaxed there for a short time and continued my journey. Some days later whilst involved in a sea-borne exercise, myself and three others were put ashore at the same quay!
