Can I jump in and ask this august band of brothers if I would have been able to see Sunderlands moored off Seleter between December 1959 to December 1961 when I was there as a sprog. My memory seems to say yes but I'm not so sure!
Also a steer towards an autobiography I've been reading by Tony Cunnane about life in the RAF from the 1950s onward which is superbly done. I hope it hasn't been mentioned before but if it has there may new joiners who will find it very interesting. It can be downloaded as a .mobi file for Kindle and is free ( but it's worth far more than that! )
The link to his web site is:
Tony Cunnane's Autobiography
ps Download Kindle to your Computer to read if you can't transfer it to your Kindle reader
