RAF Troodos
Royal Air Force Troödos, commonly known as RAF Troödos, is a Royal Air Force station in Cyprus. RAF Troödos is a remote Signals Station run by 27 personnel from Golf Section, Joint Service Signal Unit (Cyprus), and also contains Mount Olympus Radar Station. The station is based deep within the Troödos Mountains, approximately 14 miles north of Episkopi. ==History== Troödos Station is the oldest remaining British military base in Cyprus, dating from 1878. Initially it was used as a cool summer field hospital for troops from the Egyptian campaign. British army and government officials also used it as a summer retreat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British forces overseas posting: Troodos, Cyprus )〕 Declassified documents show that RAF Troödos intercepted satellite communications for the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), and documents released by Edward Snowden suggest this has continued in recent years funded by the U.S. National Security Agency.
