(Bit of a "Bum's Rush" from now on, to put you out of your misery).
Not too well known is that there looked like a replay coming up in 1961, when the Berlin Wall rose like a mushroom in the night, and we thought that Khrushchev was going to try again.
Trouble was, after the first gefuffle had settled down peacefully, we'd left the old MPN-1 ("Bendix") in position at Gatow. No way were they going to let us get a CPN-4 in there now (did we have anything which could airlift it ?)
So a hue 'n cry went up in RAF(G) for any old hairies who could still remember how to operate the old Gatow museum piece.
Off goes Danny from Geilenkirchen - Helmstedt - Marienborn - Gatow (creepy, lonely, stretch of autobann) to spend a few weeks enjoying himself in bright lights of Berlin, before they got a relief Controller up to him, and he came back same way to a rather cross (because carless) Mrs D.
Das war ja Zeite !
Danny.
