Not only did they do that but they also moved both of them down lower from the 2 Sqn position up in the corner. [Backlog: 9May10 280 days ] (Click to see.)

309	Thanks to Richard Chadwick, his son, we have heard the sad news that Dave Chadwick has passed away on Thursday 2nd Decemmber 2010. Richard tells us: "His funeral took place on the 16th, Flying Officer "Tinker" W E Bell was in attendance and did a reading as a tribute to my father, he spoke fondly of 93 Squadron and the adventures he and my father had enjoyed whilst in Jever. It was a very strange occurrence that on the day my father died my nephew typed in "Flight Lieutenant Dave D S Chadwick" in Google and found your web site, unfortunately too late for my father to see it. However, myself and other family members have really enjoyed looking through the site and seeing Dad at such a young age doing amazing things and having such a good start to life in the RAF. It's a great shame Dad didn't see it because I know he would have thoroughly enjoyed the memories of his time at Jever. "Tinker" and other family members have expressed a great interest in seeing it. I would just like to thank you and the other contributors for taking the time to make up the web site which must have taken some considerable effort and to let you know it has served as a great comfort to myself and my family to see what an exciting and enjoyable life my father had in 93 Squadron.

This clip shows the final shots of sightseeing in Athens. At 1020 hrs on Thursday 26th August 1954 they took off from Athens and flew via Araxos to Brindisi where they landed at 14:15 hrs. After a night's rest they left Brindisi early at 0605 hrs on Friday 27th August 1954 and landed at Rome (Urbe) three hours later. I think the next shot of a car driving along a road beside a river is probably taken in Rome - but does anyone recognise the monument on the other side of the river? They obviously did some sightseeing in Rome, including St Peter's Square in front of the Vatican, but after six and a quarter hours they were airborne again from Rome at 1515 hrs that afternoon.

Although on the photograph the flowers appear to be cream they are actually white (118 colours black and white). His daughter Julia brilliantly set the ceremony up. As the hearse pulled into the crematorium there was a flash of lightning and really good clap of thunder (I think he organised that). The coffin was draped in the union flag , on it was a wreath of red poppies around his medals. As the coffin was lifted from the hearse it was carried through the Guard of Honour with its Standard paraded by the local Aircrew Association including George Aird, while the Royal Air Force march was played. During the service Bob Cossey secretary of 74 told of John's time on 74 the Battle of Barking creek and his part in the Battle of Britain, followed by a brief outline of the rest of his RAF career. Emily Stride read the quotation from the RAF memorial window. After the committal the Last Post was played as the Standard was dipped in salute. A very moving moment. There was to be a Spitfire flypast but the thunder storm and the low cloud ruled it out. [Backlog: 28Apr10 134 days ] (Click to see.)

56	Thanks to Georgina Bradley, his daughter, we have learnt the sad news of the passing of "Jim" P F L Bradley. She wrote: "I have only this weekend found your site and really like it. I found it while in the search for something completely different regarding my father: Ft Lt Peter L F Bradley. It was so lovely to find pictures of him having fun and laughs in his young years! Unfortunately, he passed away on Friday 21st May after a long illness. His funeral will be held at 2pm on 1st June at Horham Baptist Church, nr Stradbroke, Suffolk. Family flowers only - donations instead to Adele House Nursing home, where he was cared for so well; c/o Rackhams Funeral Services, Diss. My Mother (Barbara) is going very strong! But she is quite a bit younger than my Father. They met and married in 1966 while he was on detachment at Ballykelly (Shackletons) in Northern Ireland - she was the daughter of a local farmer (very romantic!) After Daddy retired from the RAF in 1971 he started his car tuning business 'Spot On Tuning' which went from strength to strength, especially after he started specialising in BMWs. He never retired and was intending to go to work on the 2nd January 2009 - the day he was hit by a massive stroke. (My brother has taken over the business.).

24	Thanks to Maurice Parker added a photo taken at RAF Jever 111 Sqn Formation Aeros Team passing through and being turned round by ASF on their way to an air display at Rygge, Norway - probably Fri 22May59. Thanks to research by David Watkins and Peter Latham we have learnt the following: Peter Latham says "I can find no trace of ever flying Hunter 6 'X' in 1959. My Jever flights in 1959 were: 6/7 May, Meteor 7 (pre show recce for Rygge); 9/11 May in Hunter 6 'R' was not Bitburg but Wiesbaden; 22/25 Hunter 6 'N' Show at Rygge via Jever; 6/7 June Hunter 6 'T' show at Jever. I did not begin using Hunter 6 'X' as my regular mount until 15 March 1960 and then only until I needed to maximise the size of the formation by using the Hunter T7." This is what Peter had to say about the silver Hunter trainer: "I first flew Hunter T7 'Z' on the return trip from a show over Lisbon on 11th June 1959, and I first lead the team with it on a rehearsal on 7th July 1959 with a Mr Blackburn, who was the Daily Express senior photographer, who used a portable panoramic camera to get some great pictures. The first show I lead with it, by then in black livery, was on 9th September for the SBAC Farnborough show and thereafter I used it on most displays and rehearsals." Pete wrote further: "I am trying to get a definitive answer to your question and should soon get replies from those with better memories than me. The photo of the T7 shows a black drop tank so I presume that it was ours or a borrowed one. I did not start leading with the T7 until August/September 1959 so it is likely that we did not go to the expense of painting it black until then. Leading with the T7 was not easy as the off-set seat and shape of the windscreen top frame made keeping the loop straight when the horizon was out of sight difficult. With a minimum of 14 aircraft for every display, and sometimes 18, the arrival loop and the final landing double loop had a frontage of 9 aircraft the same as Roger Topp's 22. If I twisted the loop it gave great pain to the outer wing men and would spoil the appearance of the formation. I had a vertical mounted slip and skid instrument fitted to the left of the gunsight but eventually overcame the problem by practice and concentration and had it removed. Subsequently Brian Mercer told David Watkins: "Brian thinks that it was on 22 May, while the aircraft were en-route to Rygge, Norway." Hunter T.7 XL610 Z belonging to 111 Sqn which was first flown by Hugh Merewether on 12Nov58. Central Fuselage C/N 41H-695344. Delivered on 23Jan59 to No 111 Sqn. ('Z') at Wattisham Stn Flt. Crashed, hit ground at N. Kelsey; both pilots killed 7Jun62. [Backlog: 26Feb10 47 days ] (Click to see.)
23	Thanks to Maurice Parker added a photo taken at RAF Jever 111 Sqn Formation Aeros Team passing through and being turned round by ASF on their way to an air display at Rygge, Norway - 22May59. Careful examination of the original photo shows this to be Hunter F.6 R (on the nosewheel door). Pete Latham reports the following: "My Jever flights in 1959 were: 6/7 May, Meteor 7 (pre show recce for Rygge); 9/11 May in Hunter 6 'R' was not Bitburg but Wiesbaden; 22/25 Hunter 6 'N' Show at Rygge via Jever; 6/7 June Hunter 6 'T' show at Jever. I did not begin using Hunter 6 'X' as my regular mount until 15 March 1960 and then only until I needed to maximise the size of the formation by using the Hunter T7." So although the cockpit markings look like the Boss, Pete Latham's aircraft, he seems to have been flying 'N' at Rygge on that occasion? [Backlog: 26Feb10 47 days ] (Click to see.)

More flying over the plains with plenty of shots of rhinoceros, elephants, giraffes and buffalo. They fly over many small villages near the river, some of which appear to be flooded. They fly past what looks like a large country house with a large oval drive. Finally landing at a fairly large airfield, where they get help with the map reading from the local natives, show the airfield building, a steam roller and some long grass clearance. The final shots are of the control tower and the signals square. [Backlog: 26Feb10 40 days ] (Click to see.)
