Base Aerienne Cazaux, Arcachon, SW France Sept 1960.   This was our departure from Cazaux: Cpl Tommy Cox (armourer) 4 Sqn kneeling foreground.   'Nobby' Hobbs, Bob Barter 4 Sqn Arm Mech, John Mackenzie.   Background Italian Air Force F.86s.   John had been away from Jever for nearly three months and enjoyed every moment of it but was looking forward to returning.   John had no idea of what was to come after this photo was taken.   The journey back in a Valetta was frightening.   We were in cloud most of the way with rain and hail beating down on the aircraft.   It pitched and wallowed all the way back to Jever.   It made the 14 hour trip in a Hercules from Acsension to RAF Stanley, which he undertook in September 1982, seem like a 'piece of cake'.
