| You'd think that the blue-jobs would be filling this space but it looks as if us Pongos are going to have to do it for them,  . I was there from 1976 to 78. Lived in Weeze; Magdeburg Str and then Erdgrebenweg. There was a Signals Sqn but I was more familiar with 10 Field Squadron (Airfield Construction) RE and our own Postal & Courier Detachment. Among the planes the blue-jobs flew was a two seat Meteor jet. At the start of your tour you could put your name down for a free flight on the Meteor but the blue-jobs didn't let on until I was within six weeks of posting,  | |
