 Telegraph | News | Battle of bases will go on, Cypriots vow
Last night 300 banner-carrying demonstrators blocked one of the main roads leading to RAF Akrotiri, in the south of the island.
The demonstrators, who claim that electromagnetic radiation from the antennae could cause cancer in people living nearby, said their protests would continue until the Ministry of Defence dropped plans to erect the masts, which are to be used for Britain's military communications network.
The biggest is at Akrotiri and there is another enclave around Dhekelia, to the east of the island.

 TPMH
The early days were not easy, with much of RAF Akrotiri, including the airfield itself still under construction, the lack of proper roads and heavy rain reduced the area to a mud bath and staff wore gumboots almost continually.
With the closure of the Military Hospital at Dhekelia in 1974 (due to reducing numbers of military personnel), TPMH became joint service with a 60:40 ratio of RAF to Army personnel, and the capacity reduced to three wards with a total of 60 beds.
Staff, and residents of RAF Akrotiri, thoroughly enjoyed what proved to be a memorable day at TPMH, the highlight being a fly past by a Griffin helicopter of 84 Squadron.

To describe Akrotiri as a British military base hardly does it justice.
Another similar enclave exists around Dhekelia, further east, and Britain also leases land for a communications station in the mountains in the centre of the island.
And so Britain negotiated a treaty with both Greece and Turkey to create an independent Republic of Cyprus, but to retain the Akrotiri and Dhekelia base areas as British sovereign territory.
