Manning of bomb bay periscope
NigeGilb said:
because as part of the post XV230 procedure a crew member was stationed to look for leaks in the bomb bay.

That is factually incorrect; there is no formal requirement to monitor the bomb bay during AAR.
There might be no “formal” requirement but that is not what NigeGilb said and the air incident follow-up report on the XV235 incident appears to back him up.
It says:
THE DECISION TO MAN THE BOMB BAY PERISCOPE IS A CREW PROCEDURE THAT HAS BEEN USED SINCE SEP 06.
