I came across the web site for RAF Schleswigland, somewhat by chance. I count myself lucky to have been posted there in 1958/9 as part of 296 Signals Unit, as a J/T Rotor fitter, on the rotor site at Brekendorf..

I remember very fondly, the Bauernfruhstuck, served up at the Café Bauernschanke, as one of the most satisfying meals that I enjoyed during my stay. Im grateful for the recipe, which I've unsuccessfully being trying to re-create ever since leaving Germany.

While there, we were housed in the flat-roofed barracks to the right of the entrance, behind the N.A.A.F.I. building and later displaced to the rather grand barracks at the end of the main entrance road, past the tennis courts. This was at the time when the Germans were flying the Gannets, notable for the amount of noise that they could generate, while we were trying to catch up on sleep after a night shift at Brekendorf.

With Best Regards, Rod Goslin
