Acknowledgements

                                            I wish to pass my grateful thanks to the following
                                      organisations and people:

                                            To the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon for
                                      demonstrating the need for me to write this piece.

                                            To the Royal Air Force Air Defence Radar Museum for its
                                      help and encouragement.

                                            To ex 93 Squadron pilot Tom Balfour for the loan of
                                      photographs.

                                            To ex 93 Squadron pilot Eric Pigdon for his encouragement
                                      and the freedom with which he re-activated my memories of
                                      events at Jever.

                                            To ex 93 Squadron pilot Mick Ryan, the Web Master of the
                                      RAF Jever web site, from which I was able to download pictures
                                      and confirm dates of events at Jever. I also thank him for his
                                      willingness to publish this document on the web site.

                                            To many friends who loaned me pictures and cuttings, and
                                      for their encouragement.

                                            To Major Martin Henshaw for his willingness to take on the
                                      task of final proof reading.

                                            To my wife Margaret for her patience and muted
                                      exasperation at me spending so much time on my computer. And
                                      for her correcting my initial typescripts, prompting me with
                                      grammar, and leaving me alone when I needed moments of deep
                                      thought. God Bless her.
