This is the cover page of the RAF Jever Station Newsletter.   In the newsletter is a report (page 7) of the RAF Germany soccer cup final and the results (page 6) of the Jever golf club spring meeting.   John played a lot of golf with Doug Delaney and Les Taylor, both GCI controllers.   Les Taylor was on the entertainment committee of the Officers' Mess and talked John into helping out in the upstairs bar in the Officers' Mess.   The pay was 20DM (1961 £1 15s. 4d.; 2016 £37.60) and a champagne breakfast.   He thinks it was quite a big bash in 1961 .   It was an interesting evening.   There was a cartoon of Gp Capt Smith as an Indian chief; John was not sure how impressed he was!   (Thanks to John Mackenzie.)
