R.A.F. JEVER OCTOBER, 1958 Operations     Of all months since the Squadron received the Swift FR 5's October,
1958 produced the highest monthly flying hours.   Night flying was organised for two
nights of each week and was achieved on five nights during the month.   The break
down of hours and sorties was:-
                                                                   Swift days                 276.05
                                                                   Swift Night                  34.30
                                                                   Vampire T.11 days   15.00
                                                                   Vampire T.11 night     5.10

     Flying Officer B. Lavender and Flying Officer J. Hugill left for repatriation to the U.K. on completion of their tour of duty with the Squadron.   As is customary
they were dined out by the Squadron, to which function it was a pleasure to invite
the G.L.O.'s Major McGregor and Captain Tragear, and the Intelligence Officer, Flight
Lieutenant Davies
.   No new pilots were posted in.
     On the last day of the month, at a Mess function, Flt. Lt. Rimington had the
misfortune to break his leg when a heavy weight fell on it.   He was hospitalised at
the German civilian hospital at Sande.
