It was good having 25 Sqn C Flt at Wattisham. Mainly because they were often asking for airfield attacks so that they could train their crews. This was much appreciated by the resident F-4 squadrons; unfortunately one crew came over the ATC tower and OC Ops office at about 500 KIAS and rather low, which resulted in speed / height / authorisation restrictions being applied by the fun detectors.
A few years earlier we used to practise attacking West Raynham in the Vulcan, trying to get inside the minimum engagement range before they could hoof off a rocket. Run in at low level on the bomb steer; as soon as the AEO detected radar lock, turn at 60 deg AoB and beam the spike, reversing to fly a constant radius turn around the site to achieve zero doppler. This was achieved using AEO commentary to harden / ease as necessary to stay 90 deg off the direct track to the site. Fly the constant radius turn for 10 sec, then reverse onto a new track from the Nav Rad, following the bomb steer until the Bloodhound locked again, then repeat the manoeuvre as oft as ye shall have need. Rather hard work, requiring a lot of crew coordination, but successful! As a result, we were asked to repeat the attack when 85 had some Air Wheel watching. So we did - and later heard that he hadn't been very impressed by 85's kit limitations.
But when I tried the same thing against 25 at Wattisham, it didn't work. It seems that in the period between our Vulcan attacks and my F-4 attempt, the Bloodhound squadrons had acquired some improved piece of kit which had defeated our efforts!
