Re: 233 OCU, due to the invasion of Kuwait, the ORBs mention many aircraft movements to and from OCU for Operation Granby prep, with Wittering mentioned. No smoking gun, though, date-wise as yet.
Iraq did not invade Kuwait until 2 Aug 90, Granby was a long way off. I would not even bother to pursue that idea
