You also had some long missions off QRA..I have a 6hrs 30 (night) F-4 “mission” in the logbook where we got launched with no notice so no sarnies.......that said as I recall it the guys involved in shifting F-4s at various times between the Falkland Islands/Ascension/U.K. clocked some fairly impressive “sectors”...
As was said it was and I guess still is a case of grin and bear it....
