1.3vStall,

Not wrong at all, 11 and 23 at Leuchars, 5 at Binbrook, 111 and 29 at Wattisham. The OCU was there but so is the F3 OCU so the comparison is still valid. We were comparing UK AD not the global Lightning fleet!
I know that in 1969 43 came on the scene with surplus FAA Phantom FG1's but my point remains as it was, that UK AD then was mounted by a similar number of squadrons when the threat was real, recognised and there for all to see.
