EDITORS COMMENTS
1973: A Historic Encounter at RAF Greenham Common - Luftwaffe's Dornier Do 28D-2 Skyservant 58+62 of JBG36 In the annals of military aviation history, moments of collaboration and camaraderie between former adversaries stand as testaments to the enduring power of peace and the transformative potential of shared experiences. One such moment unfolded at RAF Greenham Common in 1973, when the German Luftwaffe sent a contingent of its Dornier Do 28D-2 Skyservant aircraft to participate in the International Air Tattoo. Among them was the 58+62, a Dornier Do 28D-2 Skyservant from Jagdbombergeschwader 36 (JBG36), or Fighter-Bomber Wing 36. The Do 28D-2 Skyservant, a versatile and powerful short-takeoff-and-landing (STOL) aircraft, was a stalwart of the German military during the post-World War II era. Its distinctive silhouette, with its high-mounted wings and twin engines, belied its impressive capabilities, making it an ideal platform for various missions, including reconnaissance, transport, and training. As the sun bathed RAF Greenham Common in a golden glow on the day of the International Air Tattoo, the Luftwaffe's Dornier Do 28D-2 Skyservant 58+62, adorned with the insignia of JBG36, taxied onto the runway. The sight of this German military aircraft on British soil was a poignant reminder of the evolving relationship between the two nations, symbolizing the spirit of reconciliation and cooperation that had taken root in the aftermath of the Second World War. The 1973 International Air Tattoo marked a significant milestone in the history of military aviation, as it brought together aircraft and personnel from various nations, showcasing their prowess and fostering a sense of unity. The presence of the Luftwaffe's Dornier Do 28D-2 Skyservant 58+62 at RAF Greenham Common was a powerful reminder of the transformative power of peace and the enduring bonds that could be forged in the skies above.
