1954
- View from George's room in Flying Wing HQ, down the road on the left the end of the riding stables can be seen and just out of sight on the left was a small brick building that was the hydrogen store for the Met balloons.
- Similar view to the previous picture taken from the Signals Section quarters in the ATC/Flying Wing HQ Building, but with snow on the ground - about 1954.
- Gordon Atkins (Ground Wireless Mechanic) and Jock McGarrity, an MT driver - Feb54. Gordon was (and may still be) an active amateur radio enthusiast. His UK callsign is G3HQG and he had a German callsign DL2VS that he used from Jever. We shared a room at Jever and Gordon's knowledge and enthusiasm went a long way to increasing my knowledge of radio. McGarrity was a drinking mate. I remember very little about him except that I found out years later he had a brother serving in the RAF in Ceylon at the time.
- Billet DIY Entertainment. Playing cards in the evenings was fairly common especially on dark nights. Pontoon was probably the most popular game and cigarettes were the betting currency. I didn't smoke so I didn't play.
- More cards in the billet. Anyone add any names? - Feb54.
- Jock McGarrity in the driving seat of the Co's car. An Opel Kapitan which all assumed had been handed over when the war ended - Feb54.
- Dave Lewington - I think Dave was An Air Wireless Mechanic (AWM). He probably came from Oxfordshire and always gave me the impression that after demob he would become An insurance agent or a second-hand car dealer - Feb54.
- Frozen Lakes. There was a line of lakes in a posher central residential area of Jever town. It seemed to be permanently frozen in the winter and here you see locals ice-skating. There were two long narrow lakes, one partly skirting the Schloss and the other a couple of hundred yards to the east - Feb54.
- Here we are out on a lake in the middle of the forest that goes round from the south to the east of the airfield and not far from the building where the VHF receivers were kept. As we were only about 8 feet above sea level the underlying soil was sand and the water table sinks in the winter when the surface is frozen causing the ice to crack around the edge of the lake and collapse back into the water. YoursTruly On Ice. This is me trying to maintain equilibrium. The lake must have formed at the bottom of a quarry as you can see that the sides are about 20 feet high and we are probably below sea level here! - Feb54.
- Sid Loosely on the same occasion as the previous photo. Sid was a Londoner, probably from Sydenham way. Here you can see that the ice thickness is about the same a Sid's shoe - almost a foot. - Feb54.
- Assault Course - Feb54. At some time previously the detachment of RAF Regiment (Rockapes) that we had at Jever, built an assault course. Sid Loosely watches Rip Kirby on what remained of the rope bridge.
- Hart on the Assault Course rope bridge - Feb54.
- Rip Kirby and Dave James at the transmitting station. In those days any chap with the surname Kirby was called 'Rip' after the newspaper cartoon strip character. He was a GWM and always looked happy. This may have been because he had met a generous German girl. He seemed to know a lot of Spanish but I knew no Spanish at that time I don't know if he was fluent. I know very little about Dave James except he was either a telephone operator or a direction finder operator working on the station 'homer' - Feb54.
- This is Dick Endecott at the transmitting station wearing a rather vague interpretation of RAF uniform. All transmitters but the low-power local airfield (Channel E on aircraft) and the radio-compass beacon were fitted inside large lorries so the building consisted mainly of two large garages with a workshop, office, boiler room, store and toilet - Feb54.
- Winter wonderland - taken a short distance from the forest edge - Mar54.
- This was taken in the central square of Jever Town - about Mar54. L to R: Jock McGarrity, Gordon Atkins MT driver, Wilding (GWM) and Tony Hallam supervisor of the telephone exchange.
- Dave Hiscock (AWM) - Apr54. To us the local German architecture was strange and Jever had been spared from damage by the war. I don't know what the building was as I now haven?t a clue what 'Ausschank' means but it was fairly close to the town centre. [Web master adds: This is the pub 'Haus de Getreuen' which belonged to the Jever Brewery but was famous in its own right. It is famous for its Bismarck room where the elder statesman used to enjoy the hospitality. Click to see a shot of it today. The three trees look healthy in the summer.] Dave was probably one of the more intelligent young men. He came from Hatfield and after demob worked for the BBC at Droitwich. I met him at IBM near Winchester about 35 years ago so he must have eventually moved into computers.
- Jock Nicol - Apr54. Another in-billet picture. I think Jock may have been a direction-finder operator.
- BrianAppleby(AWM) - Apr54. Brian was a quiet young man who probably lived for demob. You can see here that I was trying unsuccessfully to do a bit of portrait photography.
- Gordon Atkins May54. Gordon at his amateur rig. We had our billet on the top floor of tech wing billet block and had a long-wire aerial rigged between the roofs of the two blocks, which faced each other with a garden in between. The box on the right contained both transmitter and receiver made from mainly WD surplus parts bought on leave in Sheffield market. The transmitter power was about 20 watts and this allowed him to make contacts all over Europe on the amateur 80 metre band (3.5 - 3.8MHz).
- NAAFI activities about May 54 - Dave Lewington buys a cuppa. The NAAFI girls are Barbara and Lizabeth but the main point of including this picture is to show the price list for food (all in UK currency). The most popular meal by far was egg, double chips and beans at 1s/4d (6-1/2p).
- Ron Williams (GWM). Ron came from somewhere up north, probably Lancashire. A quiet type who probably counted the days to demob.
- Jever Town had a nice large central square not far from the Schloss - Mar54. There was a regular frequent bus service from camp into the town and many of us relieved our boredom on a Saturday afternoon by going window shopping. Prices were generally cheaper than the UK because the exchange rate was set very favourably for us and we bought Deutchmarks at 12 to the £. Our group here are (l to r) Atkins, Simmonds, Chilcott, McGarrity, James, Plumley, Appleby and Kirby.
- Bull Night - Mar54. We were supposed to clean up our rooms once a week and here is Dave Hiscock doing his bit. I think it was on Friday nights because if anyone was going to inspect us it would be on a Saturday morning after approximately monthly parades. People on essential duties were able to avoid parades so I don't remember going on very many. If we couldn't have the airfield open on Saturday morning then we found some essential maintenance to do. [I was going to try to clean up the cobwebs around Dave's feet, but after reading Dick's explanation I decided they probably really were cobwebs!]
- Jock Hastie - Apr54. I guess that when this picture was taken we were over-staffed. Our signals complement had a number of morse wireless operators who worked from an office in station headquarters. There was normally no wireless operating to do and I think they spent most of their working time being teleprinter operators. I think that Wilbur felt he had to find them something to do and had discovered a few tons of rock so that they could build a low wall around our transmitting station.
- Working Party - Apr54. The builders of The Great Wall round the Transmitter Station take a tea break. Rip Kirby, 'Bunny' Rhodes, Lom Strafford, ? Perkins and Ernie Pavelin. We believe that this photo was taken a few minutes before Ernie Pavelin's photo which is shown under station pictures. Dick writes: "Apparently Lom got his nickname because the corporal in charge of the homer, Jim Sinfield said he was like a 'little old man'".
- Flying Wing Headquarters - Mar54. This was taken before the control tower was built. Notice that there are two semi-circular extensions on the ground floor front of the building. The one near the centre was where the observers from the Met Office could look at the weather and the one on the right was the office of Wing Commander Flying (Wg Cdr West). The extension to the Met Office was extended upwards to the first floor after this to form a room where the local airfield controller supervised take-offs and landings. See the next picture, believed to have been taken in Nov54 when the Wing was detached to Wunstorf while the runway was extended. The changes to the Flying Wing HQ visible in that picture were made at the same time.
- Flying Wing HQ and Air Traffic Control. This is an interesting picture as it looks as though the control tower curved area has not been finished and the dirt and wheel tracks coming on to the taxiway in the foreground would not have been tolerated if the taxiways had been in use. It was probably taken during Nov54 when the runway was being lengthened and the extensions made to this building. The squadrons were deployed to Wunstorf during this period.
- Basket Ball Team. The team and its trainer were happy to pose so I could take this photo. Unfortunately I can remember only one of their names. 6th from the left on the back row was an Irish radar mechanic Pat Short.
- Basket Ball - Apr54. We had a basket ball team and there was an excellent gym for them to play in.
- Jever v US Navy - Apr54. Our basket-ball team were playing the US Navy in this game. The nearest US base was in Bremerhaven so I guess this was their resident team.
- Wilhelmshaven Sailing Club - Jun54. There was a sailing club that operated in the inner harbour at Wilhelmshaven. I guess this was paid for by the PSI organization. If you could get weekend passes it was worth joining the club. There was a problem here for some of the technical types because there had to be a nucleus of people available to open the airfield in an emergency so membership seemed to be dominated by the 8 to 5 people. Wilbur wasn't well disposed to signing 295s ad-lib so the sailing club never got onto my agenda. However I did manage to join a conducted tour and took a few pictures as we cruised round the harbour in a large motor boat.
- Wilhelmshaven Sailing Club - Jun54. Man overboard! - The caption in my negative file for this picture says 'Gash FO in the drink'. Anyone volunteer a name?
- New swimming pool on Jever camp - Jun54. It was supposed to be an Emergency Water Supply! Eventually Robbie Roberts of the Airfield Construction Branch scrounged a whole lot of old wooden engine cases from stores and fenced the pool in.
- Enjoying the new swimming pool on Jever camp - Jun54. Anyone add some names?
- Eventually the construction of the swimming pool was completed. Here is a pictures of SAC Brian Appleby. I was interested to note that the German men frequently wore hats (mainly peaked caps) and these often reflected their trade. Obviously, with nothing better to spend a few bob on Appleby and had I visited the Mutzenmarcher Meister in Jever and bought ourselves a sailor?s hat each. The lifebelt obviously made a good prop for the photo.
- Canal at Oldenburg - Jun54.
- Conker Tree at Oldenburg - Jun54.
- Jever Town scene - Jun54.
- Schloss Drogerie, Jever Town - Jun54.
- Rob Houghton on the Assault Course - Jun54.
- Unusual view of Jever Town Windmill and nearby creek - Jun54.
- Dick Endecott - Jun54.
- Dick Endecott in the VW Kombi - Jun54. For about the first year of my stay in Jever the vehicle we used as our run-around to reach the outstations was a 30 cwt Bedford. I think it was eventually written off as being beyond the limit of effective maintenance and was relegated to a firing range where a pilot told me he had probably put it out of its misery. The consolation, however was a brand new VW Kombi (now called a 'camper' and still very much in evidence on the roads today).
- Crossing at the Dutch-German border for the Amsterdam Weekend - Jun54. Much of this film was taken during a single weekend. The corporal in charge of the VHF direction finder (homer), Joe Knapp, used to organize occasional trips but the weekend to Amsterdam was probably the one highlight of our tour in Jever. The majority of us were probably too young and virginal to take advantage of all that Amsterdam has to offer. The exchange rate was not good so eating and drinking carved a significant hole in most financial resources. I wont give the name of the one person who spent one night with a Dutch girl but I will say that it left him stoney broke and the sleazy room for the night cost five times what he had left to pay the girl. After the normal canal trip and museums that we could afford most of us went to the red-light district about 10 pm and observed until around 1 am. I can only say that it was nothing like we had ever seen before. While we wore civies and may have looked vaguely like tourists there were plenty of American service men about in uniform and it was obvious that their ages were on average 5 years older than us. They also had money to spare and were obvious targets for the girls picking up along the canal sides. Unfortunately, even Ilford HP3 film, an F2 Ultron lens and Promicrol developer couldn't resolve a recognizable image under the normal street lighting so there is no record of what we saw after sunset.
- Canals on the Amsterdam Weekend - Jun54.
- The Hague - Jun54. On day two we moved on to the Hague for something a bit more cultural but we left around 5 pm to return to Jever via the road across the Zuider Zee. What amazes me about this picture is that everyone looks so smart - almost all wearing ties on a Sunday. Anyone add names?
- The Houses of Parliament in The Hague - Jun54.
- Kim Hall in the Officers' Mess Anteroom.
- Looks like a Mess Tent on an exercise? Unknown, Unknown Army Officer, Unknown Army Officer, Eric Bowen. Anyone know the occasion?
- Looks like that Mess Tent again? L to R: Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Wg Cdr Stafford Coulson DSO DFC OC Flying Wing, Unknown. Anyone supply more names?
- Maybe that Mess Tent again? L to R: Eric Bowen, Unknown, Unknown Army Officer, Wg Cdr Stafford Coulson DSO DFC OC Flying Wing, Unknown. Anyone supply more names?
- Getting some sun at Flying Wing HQ. This was after construction of the Control Tower as its shadow can just be seen on the left - 1954.
1955
- Snow - Feb55. This film is my last film taken while at Jever. It doesn't cover my last 3 months because I took my camera home when I went on leave in June 1955 as I had saved enough pay to pay the customs duty on it if the customs men had been awkward but I expected to get it through as I had owned it long enough to avoid duty. Winter in Northern Germany was pretty cold and there was plenty of snow. This snow scene was taken near the transmitting station in the south-western corner of the airfield. Also quite near the transmitting station was the accommodation for the living-in German Service Organization staff. The right-hand picture shows the GSO billets at the end of the road.
- Air Traffic Control - Feb55. Except for the caravan on the end of the runway all air traffic control was organized from one place. When I first arrived all this was from a large Ford Koln lorry parked outside the Flying-wing HQ. Later Wilbur scrounged enough equipment for us to install what we called the control tower on the first floor of FWHQ. This consisted of 3 rooms above the met office shown in this and the next 2 photos. This picture shows the local airfield control position overlooking the runway. In the picture you can see that there is snow on the ground outside. From this position the local controller usually used the local airfield frequency, channel E, to talk to aircraft during take-off and landing. This frequency was shared with the runway caravan when manned. It was also possible to talk to aircraft on the Jever approach channel B from this position.
- Air Traffic Control - Feb55. This picture is the approach controller's desk. This is where the controller mainly assisted pilots returning to base by doing QGHs ('Q' code for controlled descent through cloud). For this the bearing of the aircraft was determined by a radio direction finder that we called the 'homer' (and later CRDF). This was passed by the DF operator on a loud-speaker intercom. From this information the controller told the pilot the bearing to steer. The controller also had three other frequencies on a press-button selector. These were local airfield, general group - a frequency that was used by visiting aircraft plus 111.42 MHz which I think was the 2-Group fixer frequency.
- Air Traffic Control - Feb55. This picture shows the room there the operations clerk sat and logged all messages. He listened on all 4 frequencies so he could tell the controller when an aircraft called on a frequency he didn't have selected.
- John Grice and Frank Hill in their new Air Traffic Control "glass house" - about early 55.
- This is my room mate SAC Atkins laying on his bed - about Mar55. This is interesting in that it shows the general conditions that we lived in. I would guess that this was far better than any station in the UK.
- An unusual shot of the Jever Schloss - Mar55.
- One of the Jever Town lakes - Mar55.
- The other Jever Town lake - Mar55.
- In March 55, Jever was not a very large town so organized vice was not a problem generally. However, there was one place, the St Annentor - better known as the TK, that was out of bounds to us. Nobody questioned the reason it was out of bounds, probably because people are prepared to believe the worst and took it to be a brothel. Not being one to take things at their face value I ventured in there on a hot Sunday afternoon and got talking to the barmaid over a couple of biers. She was in her 40's and assured me that there would be no profit in running a brothel in a town the size of Jever. She told me she knew this from experience as when the war started her job in 'customer relations' staff with the typewriter factory became redundant so she and the other two girls who worked with her carried on doing the same job by opening a brothel for the German navy in Wilhelmshaven. The real reason for putting the TK out of bounds was that the MO didn't think the toilets were clean enough. My experience was that they were equal to or better than any other place in Jever and certainly ten times better than the Cafehaus Rahrdum just a mile up the road from camp. There was also the advantage that the TK had a condom machine that sold a packet of 3 lubricated for just one Deutschmark - a lot cheaper than the barber's on camp! It is interesting to note that when Powel-Sheddon's tour was up the new CO said the TK was OK.
- Another shot of the St Annentor - March 55.
- The next three pictures were taken at our transmitting station about Apr55. As stated previously our nearest neighbour was the GSO billets so, when there wasn't much to do we amused ourselves. In the first picture was see Pete Witty, a Junior Technician making a cricket bat under the supervision of our senior NCO whose name was Flt Sgt Walker but affectionately known by all as 'Chief'.
- Sid Loosely playing a straight bat - about Apr55.
- Cpl Tony Hallam and Dick Endecott - about Apr55. You should note here the terrible quality of our uniforms. Corporals and above generally made an effort to look smart. Tony is wearing his 'best-blue' to give a look of more authority but my philosophy was to dress as scruffily as I could get away with. My belief was that an irk who looks too smart is deficient in some more serious way.
- This maybe the first Hunter F.4 at Jever. In which case it would have been a 98 Sqn aircraft but not yet with squadron colours - 15Apr55. Dick Endecott writes: "My now feeble memory may have let me down here but as it seems this Hunter taxying past ATC may have been the first to arrive. There are no visible markings on this Hunter and I guess this may be because they hadn't had time to paint them on. Again, my memory is unreliable but I think this may have been the occasion when either W/Cdr West or S/Ldr Gilpin were flying. The word was going around ATC that who ever it was was going to take it through the sound barrier". 98 Sqn were the first to get their Hunters when they were moved to Jever from Fassberg on re-equipment from Venoms. The first aircraft on their charge was Hunter F.4 Ww649 which eventually became E. This arrived on 98 on Friday 15Apr55 and went to 5MU on Wed 10Jul57. Sqn Ldr Gilpin was Co of 4 Sqn who did not get their Hunters until Jul55, so it was either Wg Cdr Hammer West or the CO of 98 Sqn at that time Sqn Ldr Smith-Carington.
- Pinto, Hammer West's dog in his office - 1955.
- James and Jean Devan before the Summer Ball in July 1955. See the next photo of them taken during the Ball.
- ATC bretheren at the Summer Ball in July 1955. L to R: Rear standing: Unknown; Unknown Lady, Unknown; Jean Devan; James Devan; Seated: Unknown; Unknown. Anyone able to name the faces?
- Summer Ball at Jever July 1955. I have provided an index of the 25 recognisable dancers. Can anyone supply names? 2. Jimmy Devan and 3. Jean Devan - thanks to their daughter's sharp eye, Suzanne Lamb!
- Jimmy and Jean Devan out shopping on Main Street, in Prestwick, Scotland - about 46/47.
- Jimmy Devan at work in ATC in Singapore - about 62/63.
- Jimmy Devan fishing on the River Nith, near Dumfries, where he was born - about late 40s.
- Pete Davis and Ginger Rednap - May55. Here we are nearly finished with a few pictures taken in the ATC during a 'night-flying' session. Officially, night flying was on Tuesdays and Thursdays and this greatly annoyed me because it was the same nights that they had German lessons in the education centre. More often than not night flying would be cancelled. These pictures were taken while we waited to be told it had been cancelled.
- Ginger Rednap and his Giles Cartoon Book - May55.
- Happy Days! Brian Watson and John Sutton supporting a happy "Hammer" West. Suspect early 1955.
- OC Flying Wg Cdr Hammer West standing by his service Volkswagen on the Dining Room Tables in the Officer' Mess after a Dining-In Night. I have heard of this being done many times but never had a photograph of the result - about 1955.
- Still there at Breakfast next morning. Someone studiously trying to ignore it. OC Flying Wg Cdr Hammer West's service Volkswagen on the Dining Room Tables in the Officer' Mess after a Dining-In Night prank - about 1955.
- No 122 Wing Formation Flypast in Wing Number for C-in-C - 16Sep55.
- Another shot of the 122 Wing Formation flypast for C-in-C Sir Harry Broadhurst when he visited Jever on 16Sep55.
- Station Flight preparing to fly the German Press. L to R: Unknown German Press, John Sutton, Pete Sanderson, Shrubby Shrubsole and Unknown German Press - About 1955 as John Sutton arrived on Station Flight in Jan55 but in Dec55 became Flight Commander on 4 Sqn and he is not yet wearing a 4 Sqn badge.
- 122 Wing at a Dining-In Night for Station Commander G/C Tom Prickett on his departure from Jever in December 1955. Same as 118 Sqn picture 025. 1. Dennis Tann Stn Flt; 2.John Davis 93 Sqn; 2a. John Sutton Stn Flt; 3. Unknown; 4. Fred Dawson 4 Sqn; 5. Bill Maish 4 Sqn; 6. Tommy Thompson 118 Sqn; 7. Denny Dennison 118 Sqn; 8. Brian Iles 93 Sqn; 9. Brian Watson 4 Sqn; 10. Sandy Findley Educ; 11. Don Riley 98 Sqn; 12. Bill Dodds 118 Sqn; 13. Unknown ATC?; 14. Mis Misselbrook 118 Sqn; 15. Charlie Powell 118 Sqn; 16. Bill Brewer 118 Sqn; 17. Dave Young 98 Sqn.
- 2 pictures obviously taken at the same time but different, of 122 Wing - Early Dec55 (Date estimated from Tom Prickett who handed over to Sid Hughes on 1Dec55, Dougie Adamson and his predecessor
John Smith-Carington both on the photograph and they handed over 98 in Dec55 and Norman Buddin who did not take over 118 until Jan56 but is on this photograph. Looks like a rainy day on the back patio of the Officers' Mess so I guess it was a farewell photograph for the end of Tom Prickett's period as Station Comander. Can anyone identify more names or have a dated version of this photo?

- Ski and Winter Survival Course Ehrwald - Mon 15Feb60. L to R: Back row: Unknown, Nobby Hall 4 Sqn; Dick; Jeremy Hall 93 Sqn; Neil Kirk Jever SMO. Front row all unknown. It is interesting that Jeremy Hall stayed only one day as 93 Sqn were running short of pilots for a Sylt detachment and the F540 reports: "Flt.Lt. J.T. Hall was recalled from Kohlgrub's sunny slopes (the Squadron was fast running out of pilots) and returned to Jever on Tuesday."
