| Notes: A new arrival on the squadron, while operating from Butzweilerhof, ran out of fuel and was obliged to bale out. He came down safely by parachute and his aircraft crashed near a pumping station. The rest of the formation landed rather low on fuel due to the bad weather and lack of radio contact. Sagar's particular shortage was due to having left his flaps down-29Jan53. |

| Notes: Born: 22Jun33. Svc No. 2538834 Ken lost his flying medical category on 9Feb55. Ken Senar told me 8Apr05 that Flt. Lt. 'Len' (I think) Higgins was Education Officer. He later became Sqn. Ldr. but stayed at Jever. He gave tuition to officers about to take their promotion exams. I took mine at Oldenburg - and passed. Des browne actually congratulated me! My Flt. Lt. didn't come through until (at least I didn't know it had come through a few days before I collapsed and nearly died after coming off watch at 210 SU, Auenhausen, just a few minutes into Christmas morning, 1957. I came round in BMH Rinteln during the Queen's Speech. I only put my new rank up just before I came home on the trooper - just so that I got a better berth - and a cup of tea at Reveille! That was the end of my RAF service, all bar the shouting. Grp. Capt. Powell-Shedden, 'Fo-Fo', died late in 1994. His obituary appeared in the Daily Telegraph, dated 10/11/94. I have a copy. It was he who gave me the nickname 'Pod' in the bar on the night of my arrival at Jever. Pod 'Papa Oscar Delta' was my unofficial call-sign when I was a GCI controller at Borgentreich/Auenhausen. I used it to identify myself over the R/T to 93 Sqn pilots when I was controlling them. The Russian monitoring stations must have wondered what was going on! From e-mail 24Sep05:"For myself I was, as a further extraneous duty, appointed as Officer i/c visits by Air Squadrons and Summer Camps. A chain of coincidences arose out of one such University Air Squadron visit: One Derek Needham a Cadet arrived with his Squadron. He and I had been to school together. Later, after leaving Jever and joining the Fighter Control Course at Middle Wallop, Derek turned up on the same course. After the course was finished I was posted to 537 SU at RAF Borgentreich, near Warburg. Two months later Derek appeared at the same Unit! The names of two of the batwomen in our block were Frau Pinnau (my shared batwoman) and Frau Gabe (pronounced "garbay"). Both, as were most others, were displaced persons from the Russian zone. There was, I think, another woman called Frau Rust. Our batwomen were 'straight', not like two in the block on the the other corner of the Mess gardens rectangle who were widely suspected of having lesbian tendencies, with a bed in their ironing room. From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "Pod suffered from a number of migraine attacks and had to remain in his room for days in darkness. Migraine was something I'd not come across previously, and it was all a bit mysterious. He lived opposite to Les Bradley and when Pod was posted out I took over his room as my 'dark room' to develop and print my black and white films. Think others used the facilities, or my facilities, as well."

| Notes: Signed in to Web Site 8Feb06. Bill tells me: "Returned to UK and finished RAF career on Meteor N.Fs. and Javelins in 1959. I then did 3+ years at RAE Llanbedr in N Wales flying and operating Meteor and Jindivik drones for the RAF range in Cardington Bay. I then decided it was time to settle down to a more secure life and started a 30 year career in civil Air Traffic Control, mainly at Gatwick. I retired from there in 1992 and now enjoy a healthy life amongst the rest of the oldies in Bexhill. I'm still married to Dorothy and have 3 children and 9 grandchildren." From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "I have to this day guilt about Bill. He and his wife called at my home in South Shields and I was away riding in a motorcycle trial. My mother had no clue as to who it was and asked him to wait outside. When I did eventually arrive it was a little awkward as I was due to meet my current girl friend about an hour ago and rather stood Bill off. Hope by now he has forgotten all about it. Both the Simms were super people, hence my deep feelings about this incident." |

After the Sylt missing wheel incident, over which I was feeling a trifle low, Bob took me to his room and showed me a plaque on his wall that said, "If you never make a mistake, you'll never make anything". So we went to the bar! Bob, I heard from my meeting with Ian M., had been doing forward ground control in the Suez affair. Their Landrover was hit by a Royal Navy missile but fortunately they escaped serious injury." |

| Notes: From Ken Senar letter in JSL files dated 2Dec90. From Eric Pigdon 6Jun05 Peter was Unit Test Pilot at Wraughton MU in 1974. From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "Pete and I had a regular squash game. Looking back it feels as though we spent hours in that court of an evening, but there was also a bowling alley next door, which occupied some time. It had a dished wooden lead up to the pins that allowed cunning wandering of the bowl to get the outside pegs. Pete and I spent a few weekends in Gronigen over the Dutch boarder. He was owner of a more up to-date car than my 1937 squadron Opel (bought for £25.00 and sold for £25.00 every time) and we were pulled on one occasion by the Dutch Police for not displaying two headlights. We explained that when the lights were dipped, only the nearside (in England) remained alight. He would have none of this and commanded we showed two lights main beam or not! Pete also attended the Dutch Motor Cycle GP at Assen in 1954. I should have joined the coach for this but the AOC had more clout so I accepted his invitation, waved the boys off in the coach and stepped into my VW Beetle, which was provided free of charge. We both managed to get to the 1955 GP however."
