From the beginning of 1966 the number of dispersal airfields had been reduced. The Waddington based Vulcans (free-fall B.1As/B.2s) used Finningley and Mariam as near dispersal and Wattisham, Fulton, Macrahanish, Manston, Valley and Brandy as distant ones. Scampton’s Blue Steel B.2s used Coningsby and Bedford as near dispersals and Kinross, Lossiemouth and Boscombe Down as distant ones. Cottesmore’s free-fall Vulcan B.2s used Honnington and Leconfield as near dispersals and Pershore, Leuchars, Lyneham, Yeovilton, Ballykelly and Leeming as distant ones..... Whilst Wittering’s two Victor B.2 squadrons used Gaydon, Wyton and Coltishall as near dispersals and St. Mawgan as a distant one. The former dispersals given up by Bomber Command in 1966 were Middleton St. George, Cranwell, Prestwick, Llanbedr, Burtonwood, Bruntingthorpe and Elvington.
I think that the predictive text would have fooled the Ruskies. Personally, I would have put my bet on HMS Herpes!
