V Force - Radiation risk - Yellow Sun
Any body still around from V Force days. What was the radiation risk to ground crew from being in proximity to the Yellow Sun Mk 1 / 2 nuclear bombs with either ''Green Grass" or "Red Snow" warheads used on QRA - Victor B1 /1a Aircraft in the early 1960s? In 1963/4, I was ground crew on the Cottesmore QRA ( weekend Fri - Mon and mid week Mon - Fri ). On several occasions I was carrying out daily servicing while the Armorers had the Bomb Bays doors open for servicing the weapon. Scary view for an 18 year old ARM.
