The Russian war graves (behind 3 Sqn Harriers in the woods ) were indeed a feature of life at the Station, as it was used as a pretext for an annual "visit" by our friends with snow on their shoes.

Also, there was the case of the remains of an Me 109 by the main runway threshold, some bits later appearing in the Goering Zimmer

In addition, the covert removal of an American WW2 1000lb UXB very close to 4Sqn . (The RIC did have some purposes!)

The Ghosts.

The ongoing discovery of various items of WW2 "memorabilia" in the roofs of the airmans' blocks.

All about 30 years ago now.
