TT, didn't your Pigs have the fearsome 24 x 25 lb smoke and flash bomb panniers?
Or maybe HQ thought that they had, having noted that the Varsity was also used by the Billy Cotton Band Show to train V-bomber bomb aimers?
The thought of Ivan struggling with a Reguluski watching in amazement as a Pig came droning in determined to stop the missile launch was rather amusing. Would most of the crew have bailed out, leaving one pilot to attempt to ram the Shaddock? Maybe that's the origin of "Hack the Shad."?
