Glider, we would climb above 245 and had no need for the RVC. The RVCs were for traffic seeking a medium level transit rather than climbing into upper air. The Vulcans operated latterly from Cottesmore. Otttingham is a beacon on the airway so the Scunthorpe RVC didn't go there.I
Typically for the high level phases we invariably flew above 410 up to 490. Trying to thread a bombing run through civil traffic in the 30s was a nightmare.BBC
On recovery, under radar control we would be guided through the airways.
