Hi Nick I was in the RAF at Geilenkirchen in (Dec) 1957 - 1960, then Lyneham in RSF servicing and repairing Green Satin navigation gear. In Germany we had 3 Sqdn Javelins and 234, Hunters although I am sure I saw a Sabre there. I was shuffled between 59 Sqdn Canberras Bi8 and Radio servicing flight as an air radar fitter.
We rotated duties, so I was at the sharp end doing befores and turn rounds etc and I used to help the electricians and instrument guys, who were the others in our car journies. That was on the squdron and nice and cosy life in in RSF otherwise.
I almost signed on for more but......
Cheers,
Roy
