Memories Gone

Don't remember too much about the snowdrops. Remember I left with 59 Sqdn to Geilenkirchen about this time. Your incident may have happened after we left for an airfield not so close to the east as Gutersloh.
Soon after we arrived at Geilenkirchen we received our first "special" weapon accompanied by a group of well armed Americans. Obviously it made more sense to carry out LABS trials from an airfield on the Dutch border rather than one 10 minutes flying time from the adopted Russian border.
I really liked your story ColinB especially your humour. Thanks
