Report on a Visit to German Air Force Jever by Mick Ryan, Chris Stone, Gunter Kipp and Maurice Parker on Tuesday/Wednesday 16/17th August 2005                                              84. We began our tour from outside our overnight accommodation.   Just across the road was Building 164 which was                       built in 1950.   Once the local RAF Hospital closed it was necessary to build a Maternity Unit at RAF Jever since it was                       too far for expecting mums to go to the next nearest hospital which was in the clutch airfields near Munchen Gladbach.                       This new unit was manned by three Princess Mary Royal Air Force Nursing Service(PMRAFNS) officers.   These were                       the first female officers to be introduced to the Jever Officers' Mess in their own right.   Some die-hards resented this                       but most of us made a great fuss of them and welcomed them into our community.   The top half of Block 164 furthest                       from the Mess was re-furbished for them as their quarters.   The rest of the block was left empty as overflow for visiting                       aircrew.   As you can see from this photograph while we were there the building was being refurbished again ready for                       the large influx of the GAF Regiment units.   (Thanks Mick Ryan).
