Victor1A Low Level
I take your point re low level coming in before TFR arrived. I remember it well as I started on Victor 1s when they were just coming into service and we used to nip to to Radlett in the station Anson to collect the new aeroplanes which were never ready. We had to freight down our Mae Wests and chutes which cluttered up the cloth bomber a treat. We had to take the crystals to tee up the VHF to Bomber Command frequencies too.
The early low level sorties were interesting - many a climb-out from the route in deteriorating wx. and the nav rad working like a maniac on the H2S during the low level.
We also did the early in-flight refuelling training - from Valiants. But enough of this for the moment.
Thanks for your response
