JARIC RAF Episkopi

The aim of this web site is to bring back in touch the airmen who worked at JARIC (ME), RAF Episkopi, between 1958 and 1960.
However anyone who was at JARIC (ME), and from 1961 JARIC (NE), at any other time is very welcome to join in and to have their name listed.

When I started to seriously look for my friends from my time in the RAF, I wondered why I was so keen to do so. I have no great interest in seeking out anyone with whom I have worked in Civvy Street, although I knew many of them over much longer periods than anyone I knew in the RAF.

I concluded that it was because we had lived, worked and played together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for something like 3 years. That's a far more intensive relationship than even the closest of families, whose members go their separate ways during the day and are only together in the evenings and perhaps at weekends.

In those few years in our youth, fifty years ago, we formed a close bond that has survived to this day.
