Arrow Order Of The Day -- 2nd August, 1962 -- 60 Years Ago Today

To All Thor Squadrons and Stations

Recenty, whilst wombling through a local antique (junk) shop, hereabouts in my local area, I stumbled upon this most interesting
document. For only a few beer coupons, the framed document became mine. I felt I had to rescue it!

This was tense time and an unusual departure from normal aircraft ops in the History of The RAF; it is a virtually a forgotten era.
Well done to any of the old boys that were in the role; if still around....

Gadzooks, mumble, mumble... it was only two years later that Darbouy took the Queens Shilling...

An RAF Thor Station. Of the four Senior Officers that appear in this silent vid, fairly sure the Airship is Air Marshall Cross...
(RAF Plod on duty too; nice doggy)
