Was at Laarbruch 58' to 60' when 16 Sqn was revived as a BI8 unit from it's Venom predecessor at Celle. Took over 69s' hangar as they left for Malta with PR3s' and other Sqns' were 31 on PR7s' and 68 on NF11s'. (Re-numbered as 5' eventually with Javelins.) Ring road was one way even then. Record for one lap was held by a Fg.Off. "S" on the Sqn motor bike. It was rumoured the Eng Wing Hangars were ex U-Boat pre-fab. sheds from Hamburg or was it Bremen? Vast numbers of Magirus lorries stored for a theoretically mobile 2TAF and the then National Service airmen alledgedly "leaked" them over the porous Dutch border to be broken down as spares. Pay Parades a nightmare with Sterling, Marks, Guilders, and BAFs'.
