PLACE DATE TIME SUMMARY OF EVENTS COMPILING OFFICER.
Royal Air Force December, 1960 OPERATIONS
Jever
There is no record of a F540 being written for the month of December 1960 as the Squadron was disbanded on 31st December 1960 and most of the personnel were redeployed by January 1961 when normally it would have been written.
However, at the Public Record Office, Kew, there are some documents filed which would have been among the Appendices for the December 1960 F540 and these are reproduced below.
