An interesting period photo! Also, those V-bomber types would have had the benefit of a huge changing room/safety equipment store and their own clothing lockers - so easy enought to change before flight from uniform into immersion suit etc. Also to have a hot shower and put uniform back on after flying - then down to the OM bar for 5 pints!

Each....

Probably only flew twice per week, plus some admin or other work on maybe one or two days. Overseas trips? 1 or 2 Goose Rangers and an Offutt Ranger each per year.

An altogether far more agreeable lifestyle.
