Gutersloh,what a great posting that was.I went to Gut from Leconfield with 19 sqn in 1965.There was very little married accommodation then and lots of us ended up living at Osnabruck and commuting everyday.The boss of 19 was W/C Barcelon,known locally as the pink panther.
I returned to Gut in 1974 but this time on 92sqn(a great squadron).
A previous poster mentioned the T4 that piled in on base,i flew in that jet with Kevin Mason only weeks before whilst at Deci.
I didn't know about Pete Stone,very sad.
Did PS do his Lightning flypast solo or was Boots Boothroyd with him?
Great place-Great times.
Lightnings-dont you just love them.
