652 LIGHT AIRCRAFT SQUADRON,
|
The following photographs have been contributed
by David Kemp R.A.F. Mostly of
R.A.F. personnel they appear to have been taken around 1957 to 58 at the time
of the aircraft servicing responsibilities being transferred from the R.A.F.
to R.E.M.E. Thanks to George Millie 49B AAC for the initial
observations. If you can add any details or names please contact The Editor.

The Royal Artillery Sergeant in dress blues
stands amid a gaggle of RAF bods. Looks like a formal dance in the NAAFI. The
apparent absence of REME personnel would date the photo to pre-AAC i.e. about the same time that
Bdr. Jack Gledhill was first stationed in
Detmold. A photo of Jack can be seen from Here.

This appears to be an Auster AOP Mk Vll on a very bad
day. Crashed somewhere, retrieved by the recovery crew and the bits displayed
in kit form on the hard-standing in front of a hanger.
