In this view I was able to merge two slides together to form this panoramic view. The end of the runway is on the right.
The sign above the door says, "Blue
Bell." The telephone office was dug
into the side of this hill. Note the white
washed rocks.
View of our cable splicing platforms
and our two tool trailers on the ground.
Our gas furnace is on the ground next
to the pole for melting lead to wipe
sleeves on the telephone cable.
Those F-86 sabre jets made a nice
back drop.
Scharnweber at work splicing
telephone cable. The weather was
good while at Narsarssuak. We had
day light 24 hours.
From left-S/Sgt. Pickens and Sullivan.
This 6x6 was provided by the base for
our transportation. Hosier and I rode
in the back. That is the mess hall in the
background.
The base control tower in the center
background. The back of the base
sign is just to the right of center.

don't want.
F-86 Sabre jets parked on the
tarmac. To the right is a Danish PBY.
Narsarssuak was a refueling stop for
these jets headed for Europe
F-86 coming in to land. Just below the jet there is a dock and boat at
the end of the runway. Just in case !!!
From left- Hosier, Pickens and Sullivan.
We have just completed wiping a lead
joint on that lead sleeve in front of
Hosier.
