V Force Scramble!
I remember seeing an old RAF photograph from the fifties showing a V Bomber crew rushing from their ground transport ( a Standard Ensign as I remember ) towards their plane in some sort of cold war exercise.
Given that the crews had to be airborne in the minimum time possible, did the RAF provide a Standard Ensign for each crew , parked neatly outside whatever crew rooms were available for the V-Force crews?
What was the procedure for scrambles – anyone know?
