I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

When I first visited Geilenkirchen in its current guise I thought it strange that they had aircrew manning the front gate. Not wholly strange as some RAF units had aircrew on the gates as well. Anyway it seemed everyone wore flying suits.

Given the number of nations involved it would have looked like fancy dress if they all wore national uniforms. Also there may have been issues with issues of different kit requiring a huge multi-national clothing stores
