@mattb we had a house off base too, in MG. Then we moved into the JHQ bubble in 1989. I think I heard the bang when the bomb went off in Rheindahlen, although I was in bed several miles away. And we were deeply involved with the sailing and windsurfing club in Roermond, where the IRA ASU was arrested.
I remember cycling to Bruggen & Wildenrath to watch the Tornados and Phantoms take off from outside the base fence. Made a change from seeing them over the school.
