Toadstool, thank you for your polite apology
On the subject of Buffs, we had a USAF exchange officer who'd flown them during the Vietnam war. Operating from Guam in cells of 3.
The lead aircraft would call the release and the other 2 would do so at the same time. For days my colleague had been in 'White' formation, but one day they were in 'Green'. Approaching the target area, he heard the transmission "White, releasing in 3 - 2 -1 - NOW!". Whereupon his aircraft began to shudder and his bombardier called on the interphone "Close call that, I only just got the bombs away in time!".
They were 15 min from the target and had just Buffed someone's jungle. No complaints were ever received, but my colleague said that the array of blue and red lights waiting to greet them at Guam was...impressive! His BN's feet hardly touched the ground during the subsequent debrief!
I had a trip in a Buff whilst at GV79 - interesting, but give me the Vulcan any day!
