Location of The Royal Air Force (Temporary) Hospital, Akrotiri, in an area now completely redeveloped. A useful landmark is the yellow helicopter (a Westland Whirlwind Mk 10, in Search and Rescue colours) situated at the road junction opposite the Guardroom. This Whirlwind, the first of its kind, operated in Cyprus from 1969, and flew many patients to TPMH before its last flight in 1982.
