R.A.F. JEVER  OCTOBER, 1960   I. OPERATIONS
			         During the first week of the month the Squadron carried out air to 
			    ground firing at Strohen range.  About 70% of the rounds were fired on 
			    precision shots, the remainder on operational attacks.   From 11th to 17th 
			    the Squadron was on Battle Flight, there were two scrambles, one for a 
			    German Air Force aircraft which entered the A.D.I.Z.
			    During the 
			    A HREF="./glossary.htm#BattleFlight">Battle Flight period Squadron training held
			    the emphasis on high level battle formation, cine weave and 1/4 attacks.&
			    Thursday 18th: the Squadron flew six aircraft on 4 v 2 combat.   Low cloud and poor
			    visibility prevented flying in the latter part of the third week.   On Monday, 24th the week
			    was started with a Squadron formation of 12 aircraft.   Photographs were taken from a 
			    T.7 chase aircraft, unfortunately there was not time to complete the intended formation
			    changes before a recall owing to deteriorating weather at Jever.
			    
			    

                                          The 93 Sqn F540 mentions the squadron flying a 12-ship formation on 24Oct60.   I remembered I
                                          had a photograph of that event.   The F540 mentions that it had to be curtailed due to poor
                                          weather closing in at Jever.   The photograph does indeed show us all between layers and above
                                          low cloud cover.   My log book confirms that we all had to recover in pairs GCAs.

			    In the last week of the month the Squadron started
			    to operate its aircraft with 4 x 100 gal. tanks.   High/Low strikes were made on targets
			    in the U.K.   Sections of four fly out at high level and let down to make a landfall in
			    East Anglia;  the run into the target being made at low level in Uxbridge I area.   The
			    withdrawal is made at low level and the climb back to height started just short of the
			    coast.   So far all these sorties have been highly successful.   Exercise Amled
			    flown on 27th.   3 F.84 F's and 8 Canberras were claimed.
