Blacksheep, in your time any thoughts of a 2nd strike had vapourised.

The plan was to move families into the empty bunkers across the road and for the airmen to shelter in the basements of the barrack block.

One exercise, the off-duty ops officer was floating in the open air swimming pool. He was a 'real' flying officer with about 10 years seniority as OC Ops would never write him up as fit. Anyway we are now at fallout black.

Along comes a plod in landrover and hairy blue - "Oy, its fallout black get in a shelter."

"I know cpl, that is why I am in the swimming pool washing off the fallout. Now either get it the water or trot off to a shelter somewhere."
