I was privileged to be afforded accomodation in a house in Yenishehir during most of my stay in Ankara.
Mamak was a few miles away from Ankara proper and we had to make the journey on a daily basis in a Chevvy truck. In the first photo is Refat our driver.
Quite a lot of our daily journey was made across open ground where there were no roads. I can assure you that it was quite a bumpy ride sitting in the back of a 15 Cwt. truck.
Sometimes we were allowed to borrow Refat and the truck for the Weekend when we were allowed within reason to go camping.

Also in the photograph are some more members of the Cadre, including Pip Piper, the Foreman of Signals who dealt with more technical courses.

The second photograph is of the Military band which used to come and play outside our building.
