Group Captain Ian Smith's hand-written note, which Mike obviously typed up after the visit of the AOC in May 1960:

"Special Order

AOC's Inspection

The Air Officer Commanding was pleased with his inspection of RAF Jever and 101 Signals Unit.   In particular, he thought the Armed Party, the parade and the dress to be of a high standard.   He was impressed by the fact that we were all in step and no-one fell out.   We should all take pride in this unique achievement.
He much appreciated the good effort made by all ranks in all units and sections to put on a good show all round the station and at Offen and Brockzetal.
I know how hard everyone had to work to achieve these results and in recognition the coming long weekend is to be from 1700 hrs 12 May to 0800 hrs 16 May.
Domestic evenings on 12 May are to be cancelled.
