Very much what I learnt after the events …..none of the RN assets were loaded with WE 177 to go to the conflict zone ….those that went there were pre loaded with those weapons while on routine pre Op corporate duties with no means to do a safe transfer to suitably equipped ship returning to the Uk …..the team that designed We177 (and remember it was not a single variant device ) were very clever safety engineers as were the guys that designed the transportation containers …..there was no risk in terms of road transportation or air movement ……or one falling of a transportation trolley ……
