I was returning to RAF West Raynham from RAF Buchan with a number of other members of the station Basketball team after an 11 Group cup match on the night of the raid and saw a large amount of activity at Mildenhall while at Ely station. Knowing that there were no major exercises planned, I made the comment that the Yanks were most likely bombing Libya. Turning the TV on in the Morning cue, Kate Adie on the TV in Tripoli confirming my comment.
