There were always local football teams looking to play a 'friendly' (no such thing - no prisoners were taken!) although we always had a great time after the match.   This photo is of the Tech Wing team that played against Hoenkirchen in October 1960.   We changed in the hotel which was adjacent to the pitch.   Nobby Hobbs and John Mackenzie visited this hotel 30 years later and found the German 2nd left in the back row by showing this photo in the hotel.   After this particular game a whole load of young frauleins arrived.   We all thought our luck was in - half an hour later their parents arrived and took them away!   (Thanks to John Mackenzie)
