| 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. |

Looking back on those three years (1956-59) they hold some of my happiest times. I had a happy 30+ years on B Telecoms but nothing comes close to the comradeship of those long ago days. What would be the icing on the cake if I some how make contact with any old mates from that time. We also had a few Dutch Air Force boys with us, one was Henk van Roosmalen who came back with me on leave once, then took me to meet his family near Utrecht. Bits and pieces are coming back to me now and I remember things I had long forgoptten about. I just can't tell you how grateful I am to you for jogging my memory. I even had my 16 year old grandson looking at the web site and thinks I maybe the batter in the rounders photos." |

| 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." |

Their Landrover was hit by a Royal Navy missile but fortunately they escaped serious injury." |

| Notes: On 12Oct09 Ken wrote: "I grew up in Kent and the greater London area during and immediately after the war - watched the Battle of Britain from my backyard in Loose - except for a year evacuation to S. Wales, and then the doodle bugs. (Nr where Mick Ryan was living at the time!) Attended Maidstone Grammar School (where I was in the ATC and took my first flight in a Tiger Moth!)(same as Mick Ryan), Whitchurch Secondary near Cardiff, and Harrow County School when we moved to Ruislip. Then the family moved to Newquay, Cornwall where I worked as a clerk for the County Council, until I was 18 and got called up and joined the RAF. After square bashing at Padgate, I was sent to Pershore to be a "copper", but balked. Because I had some slight civilian experience as a General Clerk was sent to Wyton, where I was assigned to Pay Accounts - and met Johnny Davis. Johnny impressed me as a really first class guy - He not only taught me my new duties on-the-job in the office, but was sociable as well. I was happy for him when he was selected for pilot training. [Although I'd always wanted to fly, since I wore glasses, I'd already been screened out at Padgate as ineligible for flying training.] I stayed at RAF Wyton until December 1951 when I volunteered for Germany and right after Christmas spent about three weeks at Lytham - including New Year's in Blackpool - before going to Luneburg. Later that year we transferred by convoy to RAF Ahlhorn, near Oldenburg; then still later detached to Jever to open the new base. I remember Wing Commander Bryant-Fenn as the CO. Stayed at Jever until demobbed in January 1953. While at Wyton, I was invited to the Air Ministry in London to interview for a National Service Commission. Did OK on the tests, however I washed out because I didn't have "OQ". As I was walking out at the conclusion of the interview, I distinctly recall one of the board members sneering to another "Who the Hell does he think he is? Bloody Grammar School boy getting above himself - the bugger can't even ride a bloody horse!" [which was one of the interview questions.] As a working class scholarship boy to MGS with a 25% Irish heritage, that remark reinforced some family prejudices vs. the "upper" class that set the tone and direction for the rest of my life! In May 1953 I emigrated to the US - New York - and enlisted in the USAF. Served 4 years in South Carolina, Japan and Washington State - made Staff Sergeant - then took the "GI Bill" to stay in the Reserves, attend the University of Connecticut, take Reserve Officer Training, then return to active duty with a commission on graduation. [Ironically, while at UCONN, in 1958 I received an award from the "Sons of the American Revolution" as the Outstanding Air Force Cadet, while another English Expat got the other award as the Outstanding Army Cadet!] Anxious to resume a career, I accelerated my academic program and graduated before I had completed the ROTC program, but received a direct commission in January 1960 as an Outstanding Reserve Airman for New England. But then came Catch 22 - since I wasn't flying qualified, the "needs of the service" criterion intervened - and even though they'd paid for most of my university schooling and officer training, they didn't recall me to full-time active duty. However, I stayed in the Reserves as an Intel. Officer, eventually joined the Foreign Service, and had a concurrent active ready reserve, weekend warrior-type plus emergencies military side-career (promoted to "bird" Colonel - i.e. Group Captain equivalent - in 1978) - in Asia (Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea and Indonesia - as well as the Pentagon and other bases in the US, until retirement in 1991. Still unable to fly officially, I did get a private pilot's license (Cessnas), and also got in a lot of helicopter time in Vietnam and the Philippines during disaster relief operations as a cargo kicker and people puller. I also had a concurrent additional duty as a Liaison Officer for the Air Force Academy & ROTC Programs, and served on a Congressional Service Academy - i.e. Air Force, West Point, Annapolis & Merchant Marine Academies - Advisory Board, and was Chairman of that board for several years, until I left the Washington DC area in January of this year to settle in my Eagle Eyrie condo in Honolulu." |

| 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." |

| Notes: Recent news of Bunny 21Apr09: Personally, I am well, have a good pulse and take an active interest in aviation matters - from reading the mags and doing some flight sim to popping over to Bruntingthorpe when they fire-up their two Lightnings. I also have an amazing kid brother who gained his Wings in Canada in the early 50's and, though now a Rev and shortly to celebrate his 75th birthday, still flies Cessnas out of Manston and, if the medics allow, plans to renew in May his annual ticket and IMC rating!! He keeps me up-to-date on ILS and such-like civil matters. So, though Bucks is hardly jumping and grandchildren are getting more expensive by the day, life is pretty good. |

| Notes: Entry in 111 Sqn Black Arrows brochure Jan58: ..aged 34, Commanding Officer and acrobatic team leader of No. 111 Squadron joined the R.A.F. in 1943 and learned to fly in Canada. When he returned, to England in 1944 there was a surplus of powered aircraft pilots so he transferred to the Glider Pilot Regiment. On March 2, 1945, he flew a Horsa glidgr carrying jeep, guns and troops in the airborne crossing of the Rhine. In 1947 he joined No. 98 Squadron, flying Mosquitos in Germany, becoming a flight commander and instrument flying examiner for his Wing. He was awarded the Air Force Cross in 1950. In that year he took the course at the Empire Test Pilots School, and remained at Farnborough on the staff of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. He undertook flying tests of various experimental armament installations, including guided weapons and the new 30 mm. Aden gun, four of which now form the Hunter's armament. He was a leading acrobatic demonstration pilot on the Canberra twin-jet bomber, flying before the Emperor of Ethiopia and the Shah of Persia during their visits to Britain. In 1954, with another pilot, Squadron Leader Topp shared the 100 hours intensive flight testing of the Comet jet air liner undertaken from Farnborough. He was awarded a Bar to the A.F.C. in 1955 and a second Bar in January 1958 for work with the acrobatic team." |

| Notes: Ken Senar told me 8Apr05 that Tony Vasey (4sqn) was selected to be a potential dance partner with Princess Margaret when she visited Oldenburg (I've forgotten why she went there). I was there - something to do with a Guard of Honour, I vaguely recollect. But I well remember the amount of make-up she was wearing - you could have cut layers of it off her. They painted the road outside the Officers Mess because she was coming. That caused quite a furore in critical circles. From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "Never fazed, but of course he was from the North East also. While I was sorting myself out on the Sylt incident (Click to see full story.) he took over the RT from Boss Gilpin and between us we got the job done quicker. I keep in touch with a fellow trainee who left these shores after National Service and after two days in a Canadian bank decided to join the RCAF. John ‘Snowie’ Jackaman went up to full Colonel by retirement, and in the course of his career attended the Canadian Armed Forces Staff College where he met Tony Vasey, who was then a Wing Commander, on exchange posting to the college staff."

| Notes: My RAF National Service began on the 9th August 1956 with basic training in Flight 15 'C' Squadron, RAF Padgate. When time came to choose a trade, along with Sandy Edgar from East Kilbride near Glasgow and Dennis Shreeves from Radstock in Somerset, from the myriad of choices available I opted for 'fighter plotter' not having a clue what it entailed, but at least it sounded interesting. The three of us were subsequently posted to RAF Middle Wallop for ADO training. This course was completed on the 20th November 1956. After that we then hung around for two weeks waiting to be posted, mainly filling time pushing light aircraft out of hangers. Finally in December 1956 we were posted to RAF Jever and not without some relief having avoided the Cyprus trouble going on at the time. We were given leave prior to departure and I well remember Frank Di Rienzo taking a bunch of us to his father's Italian restaurant in London by way of a farewell to the UK celebration before making our way to Liverpool Street Station and on to Harwich. I tried to find that restaurant again a few years ago, but without success. And so in December of that year it was a night voyage from Harwich to the Hook of Holland in HMT Empire Parkeston (I believe) and then by coach through Holland and into Germany to RAF Jever. Our first task as new Air Defence Operator IIs was to clean up Block 40 to make it habitable! The (now historic) terracotta carvings found on each door architrave of Block 40 still spring to mind. I found working at Brockzetel a fascinating experience; fighter plotting, radar operating, ground control interception crews, and finally as Air Exec's Assistant (CCA) in the main Ops room. I think everyone at Jever, whatever their task, was immensely proud of the Second TAAF aerobatic team. I well remember Flt Lt Goodwin performing his stunning aerobatics and negative G turns over the airfield and as Block 40 was fairly close to the airfield perimeter news of these happenings soon brought spectators rushing out to observe the spectacle. I also recall learning of the tragic accident that befell Flt Lt Sanderson from Doncaster during the team's aerobatic display at a USAF base. The news of his death came as a great shock to all of us. In 1957, I managed to save enough money to buy a guitar. At the time Lonny Donegan was in the hit parade and Jever had its own skiffle group. But I was more interested in the trad jazz of the Jade Basin Five plus one and received my first guitar lessons from guitarist Bill de Graaf. Later I used to meet up and practise with Bill's successor, Digger Davidson. I was never good enough to play with the band, but occasionally sat in on their practices. I did have a notebook full of the chord sequences of all the numbers they played, but unfortuantely lost it a few years ago. Those faces in the JB5 are as familiar to me today as if it were only yesterday. Many Saturday nights particularly at the Deutcheshaus and occasionally at the Schutzenhof, especially at Christmas, are well remembered occasions. I shared a ground floor room with Sandy and Dennis until early 1958, but then moved to the top floor of Block 40 and shared with three fine sportsmen. The window of this room was regularly visited by red squirrels. Mick (?) Cunningham was the rugby player of the group; Johnny Miller had been reserve goalkeeper for Hull City; Craig (?) Wilson was a Scottish schoolboy soccer international. M Cunningham is on the back left of one of the rugby sevens photographs on the JSL site. I was the cricketer of the quartet and played for the station. In 1957, I was selected to attend a Second TAAF cricket trial as a wicket keeper, but unfortunately had my thumb broken on the first day of the trial and so wasn't able to play when the station team later toured Holland. A Dutch airman Philip van Dok, a slow spin bowler was our Dutch liason and after our National Service we corresponded regularly. Flt Lt 'Daddy' Doyle is still a familiar name as is Wing Commander 'Tiger' Shaw. I still have the Jade Basin Five Plus one cartoon with the names of the band written on the back and a Royal Air Force Jever 1957 Christmas menu card personally signed by the CO (SWR Hughes) and 'Tiger' Shaw plus a few rather small photographs taken with an old camera. I never took many photographs whilst at Jever much to my disappointment now. I retained my final leave train pass dated April 1958 and stamped Wilhelmshaven Hbf 2, second class itemised Liege, Munster, Krefeld, Aachen and Koln. On leaving the RAF in 1958 I attended teacher training college at the College of the Venerable Bede, Durham and then went into secondary education. In 1968 I transferred to the new middle school system teaching at the very first purpose-built middle school in the country. In 1981, I was appointed to headship at another middle school and took early retirement in 1991. Brian also wrote on 26Jul09 with the following story: Unbelieveably whilst on holiday in St Johann in Titol, Austria a couple of weeks ago Marion and I took a trip by local train to the beautiful village of Westerndorf. Quite by chance we met two German gentlemen and strolled up into the village with them. The village is quite a way from the station. They told us that they too were on holiday and from Northern Germany. On further enquiry one said that he lived about twenty miles from Oldenburg. He'd been a farmer and then the manager of a Garden Centre business, now retired. In conversation I mentioned that I'd been in Northern Germany back in the 1950s at Jever. He immediately replied that he knew the RAF airfield at Upjever. His use of the name 'Upjever, rather than just Jever, made me curious. It turned out that his colleague who'd all this time been chatting with Marion said that he not only lived at Aurich, not far from Jever, but that he'd worked there as a civilian at both RAF Jever and at Brockzetel from 1956 to 1958, exactly the same time that I and others were there doing our National Service. I was spechless and so much so that I failed to ask him his name and what his job was at Jever. Ah well! It was a lovely meeting and we finally parted in the village centre virtually as old friends. Sheer co-incidence. Such a small world. |

| Notes: NCO IC Tech Wing Orderly Room for a while before becoming NCO IC Station Orderly Room (as it was then known). Lived in private accommodation at the Klosterpark before moving into MQ in Schumacherstrasse. There was a private country house a couple of fields behind Schumacherstrasse which had a lovely lake surrounded by trees. It was well stocked with pike, perch and roach and the owner and his wife were only too pleased to let me and a friend fish it, which we did regularly. Happy days! My SHQ pal, Terry Bradbury, and I fished them in 1960. I didn't know of their existence until I noticed from the back bedroom of my MQ in Schumacherstrasse the reflection of sun on water a short distance away across the fields. The rest is history: we approached the owner (I assume the same gentleman referred to by J Fox) and he gave us permission to fish anytime. The place was an anglers dream and in the many months we used the lakes we never met anyone from the base fishing there. We got the impression that it was not an 'open shop' as to our knowledge the facility was not in any way advertised on the base. Up until then we fished a river, not very successfully, outside Carolinensiel which was a fair drive away - in finding Husum we discovered paradise! The lakes just teamed with coarse fish. I got the impression that the pike were not used to anglers as they were not quite streetwise - one was practically guaranteed a bite with every cast. Indeed, the WO MQs can be seen through the trees in one photo and the MT Section in the distance on another. Google Flash Earth give a good definition. |

| Notes: From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "Bit of a hard man by all accounts. He interviewed me on his return from the exercise, which had involved both 4 and 93. First question was did I play rugger? "No but I was a dab hand at tennis, and at a pinch hockey was not too bad". And I was asked to leave. He invented the 4 Squadron mortar gun and used it on the said exercise to defend the squadron against the attacking Rock Apes. Sorry, RAF Regt. The mortar gun was made from a 3" rocket tube, having a base plate welded on the bottom. The mortar shell was made up from a tin can, loaded with a thunder flash with a choice of glass or stones added. The whole thing is taped up with the thunderflash fuse accessible. A propellant (another thunderflash) is ignited and dropped down the mortar tube and after a count of two the shell is dropped down onto the propellant. This explodes, sending the shell off skywards, and should also have ignited the shell thunderflash. Troops on the ground would most likely have an air burst to contend with."

| Notes: Svc No: 5011803. "I started National Service on 6th November 1957 and left three years later, after signing on for an extra year. I was at Jever for two and a quarter years, after square-bashing and six months shorthand-typing training at RAF Credenhill, Hereford. My Certificate of Service states I am an SAC, but I finished - according to some of my colleagues - as the oldest LAC in the RAF, as I was over 21 when I joined. I returned by my job as a Linotype Operator with local newspapers for a couple of years, then moved to Maidenhead to work on magazines. Then I spent 11 years in Aylesbury, this time working Intertypes until returning to East Yorkshire. Eventually I had a typesetting business. A new marriage, new job, and a completely different outlook on life following. Now I'm a writer/historian, with a published novel and many historical articles in local and regional magazines. I am heavily involved with the National Association of Writers' Groups and was chairman for two years. Now 71 and a six or seven weeks, I'm a happy and contended man. It will give me great delight in adding to the RAF Jever site. I remember Group Captain I. S. Smith, Station Commander; Flt.Lt. J. C. Brown, Adjutant; Flt.Lt. Oxley; Wg.Cdr. P. H. Cleaver. The young ladies who worked in SHQ for some of my time there were Helga Reichert and Siegrid Wells. I lived in Block 40 most of the time, and my pals included Colin Leeming of Hull, Jock Webster of Aberdeen, Jim Silvester from Birmingham, Fred Monsey of North Walsham, Bob Dicker of Hartley Witney. I also ran a little printing press in the office on which I produced station dance cards and the like." |

| Notes: Gerry Shipley's Notes: "I was dined in on the same night as Hammer West's replacement (Vic Woodward). I remember parts of the evening very well, especially when Sandy Sanderson became irritated that the new Wing Commander repeatedly beat him at leg-wrestling. Sandy showed his displeasure by picking Vic up and dropping him on to the anteroom floor from shoulder height. At this point the Wg Cdr disappeared & there was general displeasure that the new boss should be a wimp; however, he returned about 30 minutes later, having been to sick quarters to get attention for his broken collar bone & complaining about the handicap of now having to drink left-handed. As a typical 20 year old know-all, I assumed that the Wingco Flying was clearly old, past it & definitely boring. Not too long ago, I put his name into Google & was surprised to find that he had had a much more interesting history than I'd given him credit for; his achievements include being listed among the RAF BIPLANE aces of WW2. When he came to Jever I don't think he can have had much previous jet experience, I remember him leading us in a 24-ship formation one day and initially proposing to fly at 180 knots IAS "so as to ensure the rest of us had plenty of performance in hand". He was a bit taken aback when we suggested 300 would be a more comfortable airspeed, but was happy to oblige. In retrospect I know I underrated him at the time, anyone with 20 WW2 kills in Gladiators & Hurricanes was obviously an OK bloke & anyone whom Sid disapproved of was clearly "the right stuff"." |

| Notes: Ken Senar remembers him e-mail 24Sep05: The Signals Officer was 'Wilbur' Wright. Wilbur moved into the Mess after a break-up of his marriage. He was a keen model railway enthusiast and his room was in the right-hand ex-Luftwaffe block (looking from the Mess patio towards the tennis courts). He also had an additional upstairs room at the far end of the block in which, on a number of 'Tables Fold Flat', he installed his train set. At least that's how it started out. In the event I spent many hours with him and, over a period of a year or so, the layout became so extensive, and the operating system (for we had opted to make at least some of it automatic) so complex that it was included in the Saturday morning COs inspection schedule whenever the Officers Mess was listed for attention. Eventually, when Wilbur was posted the whole was loaded into his car, with some being carried on the roof rack, for his journey back to the UK. (Click to see pictures). From Ron Gray's Notes (21Mar06): "I was one of many who helped to build a most fabulous Marklin model railway. Pod Senar has described it correctly. Will never know how it got back to UK or where he could find room to rebuild it all." |
