Jever Details - Unit/Role Arrived Departed No 4 Squadron pilot. About 1951. Sep54 CFS. Notes: From Ernie Lack: "George is one of the very best, a fine officer and first class pilot.   In those days we young bloods got up to much mischief.   I taught him Canasta, then we two taught the rest, spending wild nights in desperate competition at Gliding School in Scharfoldendorff, whither Pete Williamson sent us to learn to glide ("a glider pilot is a better pilot").   He was not only a great athletics man, we played rugby together, on one occasion on the snow and ice covered pitch at Celle against the army.   But his flying skills are even more exciting.   While we were stationed at Jever he lost his (Vampire) engine high up if I remember rightly, over Hamburg.   Perhaps it was the wicked barostat failure, which also occurred to me at 3.000ft shortly after take-off.   I was lucky, my engine only lost power and I was able to turn around and land safely.   George's was a flame out.   He trimmed into a glide and sailed all the way back to Jever, used the correct procedures to lower his undercarriage manually and made an excellent engine off landing on the correct runway.   Got a very well earned Green Entry in his logbook for that.   But he could do much more!   George rose to Wing Commander, did a tour in Canada, was once stationed in Norway where he was the NATO Liaison Officer, was in charge of Leuchars Flying Wing, got his DFC for sorting out horrible problems on the Javelin there, flew also the Lightning and conducted TACEVALs.   After retiring from the RAF became Bursar at a high class school for boys near Caterham, from which he retired some years ago."   From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "A press on type, and very smooth pilot.   Left 4 Sqn while we had Sabres.  Became a QFI and came to visit the squadron for a few days at the time we gained the Hunter4 and scrounged a conversion.  I met with him at RAF MIDDLETON St. GEORGE, where he was instructing, while on leave.  We flew a practice (at possibly WOMBLETON) in a Vampire T11 for his Battle of Britain display.  It was quite exhilarating, to be allowed to do loops and rolls at such a low level.  (Little did I think all those fifty odd years ago that I would return to this airfield to take my PPL at 72.)  Wife Mary, lovely lady."

Pope having turned down an offer of a three-year flying commission Bomber/Transport commands (my upper legs were too long for the fighter aircraft of the day) in favour of my chosen career in teaching. At 101 SU one of my staff was a very gifted tall Dutch artist who painted many aircraft in flight. Could this by any chance be Bruno Alders? (Webmaster: I have asked Bruno and it was not him.) I retired as a high school headmaster in 1993 to pursue my passion for watercolour painting and have mounted several solo exhibitions and exhibited with the British Society of Painters. Your 'Steam Laundry' website has brought back many memories of the happy time I spent in Jever during National Service particularly your 2005 Reunion photographs. During my nineteen months: Padre Fullerton supported me for a moral leadership course in Cologne which was most enlightening; working alone, encouraged by the Education Officer, I successfully completed an 'A' Level Art Course taking my examination in Hohne; Karl Watson took me under his wing giving me some teaching practice in the BF Jever Primary School; I painted a pastiche of Landseer's Stag for one production at the Theatre; and I was a member of the R.A.F. Jever Rugby Football XV and during the 1957/958 Season we played thirty six games with only six of those at Jever (101 S.U.won the R.A.F. Jever Sevens Tournament). We travelled extensively and played against the Hamburg City Police and the Hanover 1878 Club. I was extremely saddened to read of John Lakeman's accident he was a true gentleman and a great character. Please excuse these nostalgic ramblings but I did think you might like to add the rugby photograph taken by S.A.C. R.E.Short (101 SU) to your website." Web Master's comment: No need to apologise!

Notes: Ted Childs was educated at St Bonaventure's School, London E7 and the University of Nottingham. After National Service, where he served as a flying officer with the RAF in Germany, he joined the London Press Exchange as a graduate trainee. He left advertising in 1960 to seek a career in television and trained as a programme director with ABC Television. He then went on to direct and produce a wide variety of factual programmes and documentaries including episodes of THIS WEEK, then the ITV current affairs flagship, and the much acclaimed WORLD AT WAR series. He was one of the founding fathers of Euston Films, the film production company established by Thames Television in the early seventies and was there responsible for THE SWEENEY, SPECIAL BRANCH and QUATERMASS series together with a number of theatrical and television films. In 1979, he joined Trident Television (then owners of Yorkshire-Tyne Tees Television) as executive director of its film production company, Claridge Films, where his primary function was to co-produce with overseas partners. Films for which he was responsible here included an adaptation of OLIVER TWIST starring George C Scott as Fagin. In 1984 he was appointed Controller of Drama at Central Television and, subsequently, Managing Director of Central Films. In this dual role, he acted as executive producer on an extensive range of films and series for ITV including INSPECTOR MORSE, SOLDIER SOLDIER, PEAK PRACTICE, SHARPE, CADFAEL, CHANCER, GONE TO THE DOGS, KAVANAGH QC, THIEFTAKERS and HEAT OF THE SUN. Following the acquisition of Central Television by Carlton Communications, Ted opted to seek a freelance role primarily as a writer, although he is still retained by Carlton UK Television as a drama consultant. During 1998 he is scheduled to be responsible for a variety of films and television drama including an adaptation of Michelle Magorian's popular children's novel, GOODNIGHT MR TOM, a mini-series adapted from Gerald Seymour's espionage thriller, THE WAITING TIME and the final MORSE film based upon Colin Dexter's novel, THE WENCH IS DEAD. In 1997, Ted was appointed a director of Yorkshire Group Programmes, the production arm of Yorkshire-Tyne Tees Television and also joined the board of its film company, Griffin Films Limited. In 1991, The Guild of Film Production Executives honoured Ted with its annual Award of Merit. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Television Society (RTS) in 1992. In the same year he was also appointed an honorary lecturer in the school of Finance & Management Studies at the University of Nottingham. He was Chairman of the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) during 1994-95. In 1995 he received the RTS Cyril Bennett Judges' Award for outstanding creative contribution to British Regional Television. In the 1997 New Year Honours List, Ted received an OBE for services to Broadcast Television. Also in 1997 he was elected Honorary Fellow of the Moving Image Society (formerly the British Cinematograph and Television Society). Ted now commutes between homes in London and the Mid-West of Ireland. In addition to his consultancy roles, he continues to remain active in the development of new television drama and film.
