Chapter 19 of Roland White's Phoenix Squadron describes a six-week period when 16 F-104s of MFG-2, a German Marineflieger squadron, were based at RNAS Lossiemouth while their own airfield at Eggebek was being resurfaced. The Germans and their Buccaneer hosts of 809 Naval Air Squadron competed in a fair few low-flying and drinking games, fortunately without loss of life or limb.
