Video showing SEN-003 clip from Ken Senar's film.   This is from the second (and much larger) part of the film and was taken at Royal Air Force Borgentreich, 83 Group, 2 ATAF, Central Germany, during the winter of 1956-57, with a very few intercut (mostly interior) shots taken during the winter of 1957-58.   Ken was a Fighter Controller at the time.   R.A.F. Borgentreich was the base for 537 Signals Unit, a 'mobile' GCI station.   It later became 210 Signals Unit with a fixed 'Rotor' site at Auenhausen; it then had both a GCI and a C & R surveillance role. There were less than 200 personnel (as far as Ken can remember) and only a dozen or so Officers.   Station Commanders were Squadron Leader 'Paddy' Ryan and Wing Commander 'Killer' Kilmartin.   The first sequence shows the use of a fire hose to flood a tennis court to turn it into a skating rink during the exceptionally hard winter of Feb56.   Temperatures at Borgentreich often sank below those at Moscow.   'Conventional' sports being impossible under those conditions, the officers decided to create the ice- rink themselves - for the benefit of all personnel. It was thought unwise to allow airmen to use the hose in those severe conditions because of the risk of frost-bite should there be any 'sky-larking'.   As it was, the water spray landed as slush and this caused problems in creating a level surface for skating.   The 'steam' from the comparatively warm water created a fog over the domestic site and spraying had to be discontinued periodically to allow this to drift away.   Flt.Lt. Ron Young, Plt.Off. Chris Stott, and Ken are seen using the hose.   At the end members of the Fire Picket retrieve the equipment for storage. There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 1 min and 2 secs. (Thanks to Ken Senar for original film.)
