(1 min 3 secs/7 min 22 secs/1 min 3 secs/16 secs/8 secs) Video showing G013 clip from Ron Gray's film.    This clip was taken back at Jever in Mid-54.  The CO's flashes having been added to the Sabre F.4, required Bob Molden to be stuffed down the intake by his colleagues.   These include Les Swart, Brian Watson, Alan Armitage, Pete Langstone, Norman Giffin, Fred Maycock, Les Bradley and Bert Sanders.   (14 secs/1 min 44 secs/14 secs/4 secs/2 secs)         1955 Video showing G014 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip was filmed during a 4 Squadron Sylt detachment in the extremely hard winter during January 1955.   It begins with shots of the Sylt Officers' Mess in the snow and then shows Tony Pearce, Bill Blake and Bob Smith walking on the sea which was frozen solid as it was so cold.   Then there is a shot of Bob Smith with a camera and shows the fishing boats frozen into the sea ice.   A shot follows that shows that Bill Blake was anything but sure-footed - similarly Tony Pearce.   After more shots of the boats, Ron Gray, Tony Pearce and Bill Blake are seen returning to the Mess in their smart winter issue white half duffle coats.   These had to be quickly withdrawn as the officers' ladies stole them for their own use!   (1 min 52 secs/13 min 9 secs/1 min 52 secs/28 secs/13 secs) Video showing G001 clip from Ron Gray's film.   In the opening title is a reference to Fg. Off Dave Clayton who was posted from 4 Sqn to RAE Farnborough.   He hosted Tony Pearce and Ron Gray at the 1955 show and they had a ride in a loaned C117, with Dave as second dickey, along with the Movitone film crew.   Ron was sat in between the tripod legs of their camera, attached to the C117 with a 'monkey line' and got some quite good shots.   In this clip is the Spitfire Memorial presented by Supermarine, in the garden of the Officer's Mess, Farnborough.   Then a flypast by the Airspeed Ambassador and an approach for landing. (1 min 3 secs/7 min 22 secs/1 min 3 secs/16 secs/8 secs) Video showing G002 clip from Ron Gray's film.   The Fairey Gannet, maybe a T.4, does a flypast and an approach for landing.   (24 secs/2 min 52 secs/24 secs/6 secs/3 sec) Video showing G003 clip from Ron Gray's film.   The Short Sperrin proto-type intended as a fill in V-bomber.   Only two built.   First flew 1951.   (8 secs/1 min 4 secs/8 secs/2 secs/1 sec) Video showing G004 clip from Ron Gray's film.   The Avro Ashton was developed from the Avro Tudor airliner and powered by four Rolls Royce Nene turbojets, the Avro Ashton was used for research in the 1950s, with a total of six examples being built.   (9 secs/1 min 4 secs/9 secs/2 secs/1 sec) Video showing G005 clip from Ron Gray's film.   An unknown black Hawker Hunter, probably the Hawker display machine, demonstrating an inverted flypast.   It has white drop tanks and maybe the prototype Mk. F.6 with the 10,000lbs thrust Avon.   WW592 had made its first flight on 25Mar that year flown by Bill Bedford.   (4 secs/30 secs/4 secs/1 secs/1 sec) Video showing G006 clip from Ron Gray's film.   An English Electric Canberra powered by 2 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphires as a testbed, makes a run-in and break but before touching down, retracts undercarriage and illustrates it's phenomenal rate of climb on the two Sapphires.   (22 secs/2 mins 41 secs/22 secs/6 secs/3 sec) Video showing G007 clip from Ron Gray's film.   Bristol Belvedere twin-rotor helicopter.   (27 secs/3 min 13 secs/27 secs/7 secs/3 sec) Video showing G008 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip shows four Hunters from 54 Squadron doing a formation low level display.   (23 secs/2 mins 43 secs/23 secs/6 secs/3 sec) Video showing G009 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip was taken from the rear ramp of a USAF C-117.   Dave Clayton was flying as co-pilot and Ron filmed this sitting between the tri-pod legs of the Movietone film crew.   This is the Private Venture, single-seat, proto-type Folland Gnat.   It first flew on 18Jul55.   Six similar aircraft were built and evaluated by the RAF for the fighter role, but this variant was not adopted.   (28 secs/3 mins 23 secs/28 secs/7 secs/4 sec) Video showing G010 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip was taken from the rear ramp of a USAF C-117.   The clip shows the Bristol Britannia, "The Whispering Giant".   Prototype first flew August 1952.   Problems with engine icing.   Into service with BOAC February 1967.   (20 secs/2 mins 26 secs/20 secs/5 secs/3 sec) Video showing G011 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip was also taken from the rear ramp of a USAF C-117.   The clip shows the Handley Page Victor.   This would be one of the prototypes.   It first flew 24th December 1952, following which they had tailplane flutter (and total failure) to overcome, and the first production B.1 did not make its first flight until 1st February 1956.   (17 secs/2 mins 5 secs/17 secs/4 secs/2 sec)         Ken Senar's Film         1955 Video showing SEN-001 clip from Ken Senar's film.   This clip was probably filmed during a spell of snowy weather and fog in January 1955.   [Click to see report in 93 Sqn F540 for Jan55.]   The view is from Flying Wing HQ across the 'Met garden' and signals square to the snow removal equipment clearing the single, 2,700yd., runway.   In turn the snow ploughs, hot sander, and snow-blower can be seen.   (40 secs/4 mins 43 secs/40 secs/10 secs/5 sec) Video showing SEN-002 clip from Ken Senar's film.   This clip was probably filmed in January 1955 and is an airborne sequence shot from the Station Flight's Percival Prentice light aircraft.   It starts showing the Prentice wing tip and then moves on to show villages and snow-covered countryside in the Jever vicinity.   There are interior shots showing the pilot, Flying Officer John Sutton i/c Station Flight, who later went on to become an Air Marshal and Governor of Jersey, taken from rear seat.   The docks (with ice sheets) and the town of Wilhelmshaven is seen from several angles.   Finally the circuit is joined and the runway is clear.   Circling to land there are views of RAF Jever, the hangars, and Flying Wing HQ (close by the trees) on the south side of the airfield.   Jever town is glimpsed.   The RAF Jever domestic site is in the trees.   On 'finals' the runway is very clear and there is a final glimpse of the red and white runway caravan.   (2 mins 9 secs/15 mins 1 sec/2 mins 9 secs/32 secs/15 sec)         1956 RAF Borgentreich Video showing SEN-003 clip from Ken Senar's film.   This is from the second (and much larger) part of the film and was taken at Royal Air Force Borgentreich, 83 Group, 2 ATAF, Central Germany, during the winter of 1956-57, with a very few intercut (mostly interior) shots taken during the winter of 1957-58.   Ken was a Fighter Controller at the time.   R.A.F. Borgentreich was the base for 537 Signals Unit, a 'mobile' GCI station.   It later became 210 Signals Unit with a fixed 'Rotor' site at Auenhausen; it then had both a GCI and a C & R surveillance role. There were less than 200 personnel (as far as Ken can remember) and only a dozen or so Officers.   Station Commanders were Squadron Leader 'Paddy' Ryan and Wing Commander 'Killer' Kilmartin.   The first sequence shows the use of a fire hose to flood a tennis court to turn it into a skating rink during the exceptionally hard winter of Feb56.   Temperatures at Borgentreich often sank below those at Moscow.   'Conventional' sports being impossible under those conditions, the officers decided to create the ice- rink themselves - for the benefit of all personnel. It was thought unwise to allow airmen to use the hose in those severe conditions because of the risk of frost-bite should there be any 'sky-larking'.   As it was, the water spray landed as slush and this caused problems in creating a level surface for skating.   The 'steam' from the comparatively warm water created a fog over the domestic site and spraying had to be discontinued periodically to allow this to drift away.   Flt.Lt. Ron Young, Plt.Off. Chris Stott, and Ken are seen using the hose.   At the end members of the Fire Picket retrieve the equipment for storage.   (1 min 3 secs/7 mins 21 secs/1 min 3 secs/16 secs/8 sec) Video showing SEN-004 clip from Ken Senar's film.   This is from the second (and much larger) part of the film and was taken at Royal Air Force Borgentreich, 83 Group, 2 ATAF, Central Germany, during the winter of 1956-57, with a very few intercut (mostly interior) shots taken during the winter of 1957-58.   This clip shows it is snowing hard as night falls.   In dim winter light the C.O., Sqn.Ldr Paddy Ryan's Volkswagen arrives in the morning outside Station H.Q.   Next is the camp main gate with Guard Room to the left of the barrier.   Magirus Deutz (air-cooled diesel) trucks are in evidence.   Fg.Off. Doug Breeze walks past Station Sick Quarters.   An Airman salutes the camera and another passes by.   A Service Policeman makes his way for a haircut.   Next there are shots taken inside the barber's shop.   The barber was a German from the village and he used a room at the rear of the Station Headquarters building.   (2 mins 6 secs/14 mins 40 secs/2 min 6 secs/31 secs/15 sec) Video showing SEN-005 clip from >Ken Senar's film.   The clip starts with young children from the married patch leaving the Airmen's Mess after a Saturday morning film show in the Airmen's Mess cinema.   They walk away with the Airman driver who will take them back home.   Next, Airmen file into lunch and a group of Officers walk past.   The Main gate is the next shot, and the wagon leaves with the children.   Finally Flt.Lt. 'Sam' Weller, Station Adjutant, walks past.   (1 mins 32 secs/10 mins 51 secs/1 min 32 secs/23 secs/11 sec) Video showing SEN-006 clip from >Ken Senar's film.   The clip shows the interior of Officers Mess at Borgentreich.   Seen in the ante room is Fg.Off. Doug Breeze, Fg.Off. John Duggan, Fg.Off. 'Jock' McPhail, Plt.Off. Chris Stott (Nat Service), and another National Service Pilot Officer relax with crosswords and `page 3'!   Flt.Lt. Roy Bertram fiddles with the radiogram.   In the bar: FIt.Lts. Ray Street, Don Crocker, Phil Phillpot, and Self.   The Barman (mis-employed Airman) can be seen.   Flt. Lt. 'Sam' Weller (in close-up), then Flt.Lt. Colin Hanmore.   In the dining room: The waiter is Herr Walter Huldt.   A group of Officers, including Plt.Off. O'Hara are at lunch.   Very few officers lived in, most were in married quarters.   (1 mins 54 secs/22 mins 13 secs/2 min 26 secs/1 min 13 secs/36 sec) Video showing SEN-007 clip from Ken Senar's film.   The clip shows that the snow has been cleared and the rink brushed ready for skating on a Saturday afternoon.   This lengthy sequence shows personnel of all ranks, and all degrees of competence, enjoying themselves on the ice.   Flt.Lt. Billing (in beret) watches briefly (he was Duty Officer) before the shadows lengthen and the sequence closes.   Regrettably, no names can be recalled with certainty.   This sequence was extremely popular when shown to all ranks in the cinema a few weeks later.   (2 mins 53 secs/35 mins 43 secs/3 min 54 secs/1 min 57 secs/59 sec) Video showing SEN-008 clip from Ken Senar's film.   The clip shows first a sleigh, and then we follow a car along a road swept of snow.   It is the following Sunday afternoon.   Most off-duty Officers and families decide to go sledging on a steeply sloped field on the far side of the village away from the camp.   The married Officers with cars collected those living-in and took them along.   It is the CO's private car that is being followed.   The sledging sequence is self explanatory.   Some local German youths also briefly share with our fun.   One of them has skis.   The names and descriptions of those present (not in order of appearance) are: Paddy Ryan - yellow sweater, no hat, black trousers; Pam Ryan - with dog - blue sweater, pink striped scarf; Young Julie Hanmore - in red anorak, dark trousers; Cohn Hanmore - blue/grey service anorak; Irene Hanmore - green anorak, yellow scarf, no hat; Roy Bertram - greyish clothes with flat cap; Don Crocker - brown sweater, no hat; Peggy Crocker - red anorak, red & white woolly hat, and green scarf; Fg.Off. Education officer (name forgotten) grey sweater, flat cap.   It is Julie Hanmore who decides to slide without a sledge! - [running gag].   Departure from the field over a small bridge.   (6 mins 20 secs/1 hr 47 mins 57 secs/11 min 48 secs/5 mins 54 secs/2 mins 57 secs) Video showing SEN-009 clip from Ken Senar's film.   The clip is largely about the village of Borgentreich.   It starts with the "Borgentreich" village sign.   Then, `Sam' Weller and the new Accounts Officer (name forgotten) walk to the village.   Farming scenes along the road.   Farm dog.   Pigeons.   Horse and cart.   Village streets showing the icy state and some farm transport.   Borgentreich was entirely agricultural with almost no private cars at all.   It was a very poor area.   Local children sledging.   Snow plough at work back on camp.   Evidence of the thaw setting in.   Slush.   Finally, a car driving off.   (2 mins 48 secs/48 mins 21 secs/5 min 17 secs/2 mins 39 secs/1 min 19 secs)         Mitch Shearer's Film         1956 Video showing Mitch Shearer, 4 Squadron, walking out, strapping in and taxying for a 4 Hunter Snake Climb after take-off - some time in 1956.   It is shot in front of the then 4 Squadron Hangar - Hangar 1.
