Airborne Sappers from 23 Parachute Engineer Regiment have been on Exercise Pinestick, training their trade skills in Cyprus.
The exercise is a regular deployment by a Royal Engineer squadron, tasking them with building and renovating infrastructure used by British military personnel based on the island and the wider Cypriot community.
Having been in Cyprus for six weeks from late January, troops have planned and carried out upgrades to RAF Akrotiri s force protection, built a new hut and repaired a track at the Dhekelia Scout Wood, and also worked on the renovation of the Episkopi Families Centre.
