Report on a Visit to German Air Force Jever by Mick Ryan, Chris Stone, Gunter Kipp and Maurice Parker on Tuesday/Wednesday 16/17th August 2005                                              99. The mounted Sabre in front of Station HQ.    In 1964 it was Waffenschule 10 (OCU) that became the first Luftwaffe                       flying unit after the second World War, to be based at Jever.   It had previously been equipped with Canadair Sabre 5s                       and 6s at the former RAF base at Oldenburg.   It never actually flew Sabres from Jever.   Its main task when moved                       to Jever in 1964 was the "Europeanisation" of the F-104 Starfighter crews after they had finished their "fair weather"                       conversion to the 104 in the US and before moving on to the operational units in Germany.   (Thanks Chris Stone).
