That must have been after they hit the old Airport and the communications in Nicosia . I remember it as if it were yesterday being in the UN Camp at Nicosia Airport, woke me up it did especially the strafing noise over Nicosia.

Hi Lee666 - How much of a UN presence was there on the island in July 1974?

45 years ago, not too much as I remember obviously after the strikes a lot more appeared from all over the place. I was in 644 Signal Squadron UN, based at the old Airport. We had Canadians, Swedes, Finns, Danes on the camp with us.

I read on one of the TRNC news sites earlier today, that it was any time from
5.55pm until 6.40pm - unfortunately though, I can't now find the report to give you the link.

I also remember reading there will be a fly-by for the Lefkoşa ceremony some time betwen 11:00 and 11:30 (ie. in the morning) ... and then a fly-by for a ceremony in Güzelyurt between 11:30 and 12:00.

One presumes that the
Stars themselves gave the possible start-time this year as 5.55, because there were complaints from some people in previous years that they were still inside the house or wherever when the
Stars first flew over. I was merely forwarding the times giving in the TRNC press. Hey ho. Enjoy the day!
