I would presume nothing. No information was made available at station level regarding how LGBs might be employed. Had I to guess, the aircraft role might have been similar to the part it usually played in a Vectac.

I don’t know what the outcome of the measuring up exercise was. We knew beforehand that they would fit, but how many and if a safe release was achievable was not a unit matter. In any event, there were many other things going on that fully occupied my time.
