Just a thought, but the 'V' force used lots of dispersal airfields ranged around the UK to disperse the force during "times of international tension". (and I've slummed it in broken down caravans and vandalised barrack buildings at nearly half of them!) I imagine that RATOG was intended to increase the number of available dispersal sites by using smaller airfields. Placing solitary aircraft all over the country would have made it impossible to eliminate the V Force in a first strike attack, but the logistics would also be horrific - and that's why the idea was dropped.
