Jim,

It seems you might not have been far off the mark about "Training Flights" Very Happy

Found this whilst looking for other things.

"Royal Air Force Squadron Leader A.M. Johnstone led the nine Dakotas of No 30 Squadron off the field of Schleswigland, flew a circuit of the installation, and set course for the German Isle of Sylt on the Baltic, During their stay on the continent, the officers and men discovered the resort was a popular gathering place for attractive young women, and “training flights” to the spa had been routine.

It dates from the time of the Berlin Airlift.

Paul.

Thats right,the North Sea it is.Lovely place,thatched houses and lots of Millionaires.If you win the lottery then thats the place to be!Personally I prefer the Island of Juist,also in the North Sea,but its the place for peace and quiet,no cars allowed,and you get woken up by the horses doing the deliveries.By the way,nudist beaches are know as FKK areas(very appropriate)
Changing ariels from tomorrow till the 24th(off to UK)
Best wishes

Island of Sylt post VE Day before the RAF

14 May 45 – 58th (Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment RA by 28 May 45 in List Kaserne
12 Dec 45 – C Company 4th Battalion King’s Shropshire Light Infantry
12 Jan 46 – Detachment of 1st Battalion Herefordshire Regiment

Wasn't there some belief the beds were softer, the RAF disliked oiks on the island and
airmen were all budding naturists. Must see what was happening on Heligoland
