Well done SmoleTooMuch! After all these years, now we know. I can see now why the Wingco Tech, and everyone else, was worried and baffled. SAC had secretly moved to a very high readiness, with no explanation to High Wycombe. I can imagine some very senior meetings along the theme of “What the *** do we do now”. I suppose bringing the Vulcans up to Strike’s equivalent of DefCon 1 was the only sensible thing to do. This is something of a relief on my part. I can show this to my wife to dispel the 34 year old lingering suspicion that I spent the whole of Friday night and Saturday morning in the Horse and Jockey – or worse!
