I’m trying to pin point Camp Maple Leaf, and some of the old OPs (OP School), using Google Earth, put I’m not sure I have it right. If anyone else is using Google Earth ( http://earth.google.com/), can they provide a better insight? I have the old airport, which we used to patrol, and I thought CML, was just down the road. This is what I have...but again, I’m unsure if this is correct or not: any takers? CML: 35° 9'10.40"N - 33°17'24.09"E Airport is just to the left: 35° 9'34.00"N - 33°16'30.98"E Ledra Palace: 35°10'40.90"N - 33°21'16.92"E Cheers, Dave |

Hi Willy; I received an email from Vic last night, and responded promptly - it's good to be back in touch with him. Thanks for your help!
Ranrad; I'm sure CML was just down the road from the airport. I drove a Brit buddy back to his location late one night, and they replied in kind with some Keo Brandy....heading back, in a true Jackie Stewart fashion of an invincible (and slightly drunk, ok maybe really drunk) 19-year old, I crossed the runway, and turning back onto the road (roundabout), I hit a stone road marker and flipped the Jeep on it's side, and slid down the road hugging the wheel for about 70 feet or so. Once I stopped, I tried unsuccessfully to push the jeep back on it's wheels, and ended up running down the road to CML, and had a few of the boys come and help.
Anyway, Google Earth is a free download, which allows you to travel and view the world upon high, and zoom in...very cool stuff. I'll keep looking for some of the old OP's.
Cheers,
Dave
