3putt, I wasn't there but we had a similar Charlie Uniform at ISK at that time.
Exactly the same situation except this time the airfield is covered in Nimrods. We are in a non-flyer parked in the wash bay and nose in to the wire.
OC Girlies orders a tug for a push back and in the process we get the 'scramble' order. Everything rushes into sharp focus and sqn cmdr sees red. We get out, lined up on the apron, start engines and go like b*gg*ry, down the taxiway, onto the runway, and go. Everyone followed in turn.
Apart from the fact we were in a non-flyer, it was supposed to be a taxi-scramble and return to dispersal where we would sit for 3 hours as the fallout swept the airfield.
Instead there were 15 plus Nimrods all in their war hold areas in the ***** *** burning up Betty's gravy and eating her nutty.
It all fits.
