Notes: On 9Feb15 Glyn wrote: "Trawling the Web for information about RAF Stations I served at I came across the interesting website for RAF Jever Germany (Jever Steam Laundry.org) which included some entries regarding a 2nd TAF Gunnery Contest at the French Air Force Station Cazeau in 1958.   Browsing this I found two photos which to my surprise included me.   I may be in others but their details are too poor to recognise anyone. However I was part of the Ground Crew Team for that Contest.   As MY Photos of that Contest and the pre-Testing for it at Sylt were all lost (except one) while I was away from home serving at RAF Luqa Malta in the 60's, I was delighted to relive the experience through the Photos and some of the comments contained in the website.   At the time I was a recently qualified J/T Engine Fitter Ex RAF Oldenburg posted to Jever and employed In Tech Wing (ASF & Engine Bay) Servicing Both Hunters and Swifts from the Squadrons.   Being new to the Station and perhaps Surplus to Requirements, I was 'Volunteered' for the Contest team and travelled to Sylt with a pack of Squadron Sgt's, Corporals, and SAC's I hardly knew (I think I was the only J/T with them) A great six weeks was had at Sylt and then the long haul by Train through Germany and France (with a lovely few hours stop in Paris enabling some of us to see the sites) to Cazeau.   Our accommodation in the French NCOs Mess there was quite primitive and the food was pretty awful too (made palatable only by the cheap table wine supplied at every meal.)   However I enjoyed almost every day spending most evenings at Arcachon in the Hotel and town Bars. Happy Days.   All too soon the train journey back to Jever and with my Repat only six weeks or so later and a change from Fighter A/C to Valiant and Victor Bombers at RAF Honington Suffolk.   After tours at 32 MU St. Athan and RAF Idris Libya and Malta I returned to Honington in 1969 with the reformed 12 Squadron (Buccaneers) and eventually took early retirement as a Chief Tech Aircraft/Propulsion on the Buccaneer CEDIT Team in 1973.   Memories:   Flight line at Sylt.   Doing a Turnround on a Hunter when a Javelin a few yards down the line let blast 10 or so rounds of 30mm which cleared the Butts (due to angle of the Jav's wing when static).   I believe the shells landed at a farm some miles away. We always ducked under our guns after that.   A Hunter was sent off with main U/C locks still fitted. (Airframe Mech Job).   It made a very quick and safe return.   A Hunter was sent off with low fuel. (Engine Mech Job) (in fact my fault as during my refuel someone switched off the power and the refuel stopped early) Moral, Don't assume Check. I was almost sent back to Jever for that.   Smell of burnt Berets as we slapped out the flames on the Hunter's underside with them caused by the hot exhaust of AVPIN starters. I hated AVPIN.   Personal embarrassing moment.   Group Evening out at the Tivoli Night Club in Westerland.   Was asked to dance by a German Girl, went up to the 'raised' Dance Floor, she stepped onto it and promptly disappeared, leaving me completely flummoxed, she appeared again from the other direction a few seconds later - the dance floor revolved.   Nice evening though, but I was the butt of rude comments from the boys for ages after.   Saddest moment?   Seeing a Memorial Plaque at Cazaux which I was told was to commemorate some (12 or so) French Resistance Fighters executed by the Germans on that spot in WWII."

Most of that time Wilbur Wright was my CO. So finding the www.rafjever.org site was very interesting. I had been looking at modern Jever on Google Earth (which has expanded beyond my imagination) and gave up trying to find the windmill that I remember as being less than a quarter of a mile from the town centre. So I put 'windmill jever germany' into Google and got the shot from the tiger moth flying about 10 feet above ground level. It will take ages to look at all the pictures and read the history if I'm going to continue my normal busy retirement so I'm sending you this now to express my appreciation. I have been a keen amateur photographer since the end of the war and being posted to Germany was a great opportunity to purchase a top range 35 mm camera (Voigtllander Vitessa). I still have the negatives of all the pictures I took at Jever. When I was at Jever we set up a camera club and got a room upstairs in the education block that we blacked out to make a darkroom and I think PSI coughed up for an enlarger and developing dishes etc. I was able to develop my films there and make prints. I have kept negatives from that time and I see I have 5 films. I have a film & slide scanner that I hope still works so I'll see what is relevant and interesting."

Notes: I was a reluctant National Service "Fighter Plotter" via Bridgnorth, Middle Wallop and Borgentreich.   I had put down for several more attractive trades including languages and photgraphy but these were ignored!   Thus when I arrived shortly out of school at RAF Jever in late 1956, I found myself on the regular run to Brockzetel as a member of 101 SU.   Not one of my top ten work venues!.   My posting to Jever was because of my status as a UK number one half miler and the stations athletics facilities and reputation.   After a winter of cross-country with such stars as Don Shelley, the athletics season unravelled and in addition much to the envy of many less sports minded airmen I became more privieged as "Badminton fodder" for Group Captain Hughes and his wife together with PTI Cpl Chubb.   PFO Ken Saw looked after the athletes well, and we had extra eggs with our breakfast.   The star Jever athlete in those days was Lloyd Maloney a native of Montserrat who remains a good friend to this day.   He won the Bronze in the AAA Decathlon while at Jever, having received extra coaching from Mr Edwards the PE master at Prince Rupert's School Wilhelmshaven.   My 800m colleague in those days was Frank Di Rienzo with whom I still remain in contact.   He now owns two restaurants in London.   Might be suitable for one of your re unions.   Athletically 2TAF was probably rather too easy and whlie there I only lost twice to one airman, the late David Brown who flew javelins out of Bruggen, and once each to a visiting Cambridge University man and Metz, a German at TSV Wilhelmshaven.   I move on from the RAF to Loughborough for three years and made the 800m final finishing 5th, the winner being Ron Delaney, and the 4x400m final in the world student Games in Sofia Bulgaria.   One of the quartet was a callow Menzies Campbell.   In 1962 I ran for England in the Commonwealth Games in Perth WA and was again 5th in the final with world record holder Peter Snell winning.   As well as enjoying a teaching career in PE and Geography I have been seriously involved as an athletics coach, team manager and official.   It has all been been demanding of time and effort but thorughly rewarding   Am off to Beijing tomorrow with Nicola my wife in support of Martyn Rooney, whom I coached from a very young age to 20 and whom I still advise.   He is the UK No 1 over 400m and is currently running about 3.5sec faster than I did!   800m was however my forte.

Notes: My recollections of 'Buster' the squadron mascot are perhaps worth noting.   Buster would sit on the apron outside No. 1 hanger and watch for the N.A.A.F.I. waggon to leave 93 squadron apron and he would then come into our hanger and bark, we all then knew it was our N.A.A.F.I. time.   On Saturday afternoon he would go to the bus stop outside camp gates and wait for the German service bus and go into town, we had no idea where he went during the afternoon but he always returned at tea time, perhaps with a smile on his face.   On working days his carer, Don West, would lift him up into the back of our Thorneycroft lorry and Buster would stand in the middle between the airmen and however eratic the ride was he would never move a paw.   He anticipated every bend by leaning one way or the other.   I recall on another occasion him jumping off the train going on some exercise or perhaps to Sylt and Don together with an officer had to chase after him, the train departing without them.   When we returned, I believe Buster was demoted from Junior Technician, he was of course on squadron strength.   I was at Jever from early 1953 to 1955 as Airframe Mechanic.   The squadron had D.H.Vampires at that time, we then took delivery of F86 Sabres.   On my Demob the Hunters were just coming on to squadron.

About Aug58. Dec61 boarding at prince Rupert School, Wilhelmshaven until 62. Notes: I lived in Jever about 58-59, and went to Prince Rupert School in Wilhelmshaven, after attending the primary school just outside the Main RAF Jever Gate. My father was the NAAFI manager of the Jever shop at the time, and seeing pictures of the Astra cinema on your website brought memories flooding back to me - 'Good ol' Fred' was the cry of the whole place whenever Tom & Jerry cartoons came on (on account of Fred Quimby, as I recall, being the producer of those films, or something similar!) I also recall 'Black Smith' being there, as my father had occasional meetings with him. We also lived in the adjoining house to the Rev. Hewitt Wilson in Beethovenstrasse - I sang regularly on Sundays in Hewitt's choir - mornings and evenings - until the church burned down. Strangely, that's what also happened to the church in Jever town, as I recall rushing to possibly lend a hand in helping to save it! I swam in the pool on the camp itself - yes, I remember it just as your photos show! - there were holes too, in the wooden 'barrier' wall between the men's and ladies' changing rooms, which most of us peered through at some time or other! Before moving to Beethovenstrasse my family's first accommodation at Jever was in an 'H' block near the end of the runway - quite a noisy place! We had curtains as room dividers! I have attended several PRS reunions both in the UK and in Wilhelmshaven (there is an active society for past pupils). Degree in Archtiecture from Cardiff University, UWIST 69, architect for Buckinghamshire County Council until 2007. Now retired. I am only acquainted with Heather Watson - though not at the time, only more recently! She did the translations so well at the TWA memorial unveiling a few years back which I mentioned. It is interesting you say that Jo Watson, your wife, was head of Howe Girls. I was in Howe Boys - at the Bonteheim site! Sadly, of all the school buildings, this one no longer exists, having been demolished some time ago and replaced by a block of flats! Frankly, I'm surprised most of the other buildings have lasted as long as they have, but I guess all their days are now numbered as they gradually fall into complete ruin.

I joined the R.A.F. for 3 years as an Airframe Mechanic. I did my training at St Athans and posted to R.A.F Jever early 1953. I first worked on Vampires Mk 9 and then these were replaced by Sabres (I believe they were half American and half Canadian). About Jun55 we had three Hawker Hunters come onto the squadron - we still had Sabres. I was demobbed in Aug55 at the rank of Senior Aircraftsman. An Officer who asked me to rejoin with the promise of a Corporal Technician's course was sadly killed in his aircraft when I was on leave in 1954. Born in 1934. There was some famous pilots in charge of R.A.F. Jever from the war. One I believe was Group Captain Powel-Sheddon. I played rugby for the station all over Germany. One of the highlights was playing at the Berlin Stadium in a cup match. (we lost) A great time. We were trained by a Wing Commander who was an ex-Scottish International. I always remember he said "I must tell you all about the 'Dirty Tricks' so you are aware what to avoid." I left the R.A.F. married and worked on a Farm for 18 months and then in 1957 I joined the Dorset Police Force where I rose the rank of Detective Inspector in charge of all Fingerprint,Photography and Forensic for the whole of Dorset Area. I attended nearly 40 murder scenes and was awarded the Queens Police Medal for Distinguished Service in the New Years Honours of January 1987. I have also the long Service and Good Conduct medal and eight Commendations for arrests and saving life. I also received from Squadron Leader Browne about a year after I had left the R.A.F. a Certificate of Merit signed by him and other officers for the work on the Squadron. This came out of the blue. I think it was about the time Squadron Leader Browne had been awarded the Distinguishing Flying Cross. Valerie and I had a boy Richard (now a Police Inspector at Poole) and girl Sally(Accountancy). We have five grandchildren and one Great Grandchild. I hope I have not bored you but I look back on a memorable time with 93 Sqnn and felt I had to tell you how one of the Old boys got on. When we won the Ground to Air firing cup at R.A.F Sylt. To receive the cup we had a parade at Jever in freezing conditions and the Band froze up just as the A.O.C.'s Dove Aircraft landed. The A.O.C. inspected us and because I am 6' 4" in height he said to me " I bet it is cold up there airman" and I replied "I bet it is cold down where you are sir". Humph.!
