We had arrived, and the journey had taken the better part of 30 hours. Curiously, there was hardly anyone about, although that matter was shortly to be explained.


The gate and Guardroom (left) at RAF Jever on an afternoon in the depths of winter. One passed along the main road by the married quarters on the right before arriving at this gate. Ahead, in the far distance across the airfield, can just be seen the corner of No.4 Squadron's hangar.
On entering the gate and turning left one came to the Officers Mess. On turning right just inside the gate were the Malcolm Club, Church of England Chapel, PSI shop, the MT Section, MTSS, and Station Fire Section. This road then became the ring road past the GSO barracks and ended just after the aforementioned hangar at the firing harmonisation butts and pig farm.
Ahead from this gate, on the left before getting to the airfield, were Station Headquarters, the Education Section building and, lastly, just across the railway siding, the Equipment Section building. Technical Wing buildings lay to the right, but other facilities and barrack blocks lay mostly to the left of this road.
The Pekol bus service into Jever town had its terminus behind the camera position.
