It can easily be forgotten when thinking of "Mobile FGA Squadrons" in a tactical air force, how much ground support is actually required for sustained operations. This is a convoy of 2,500 gallon refuellers on the way to support a Jever deployment to Leeuwarden in Holland for the NATO Exercises 'Stranglehold' and 'Whipsaw'. 12 Hunter F.4s and 19 pilots deployed from 18th to 29th September 1956.
