Would it be going too far to think that the ‘official’ picture showed our gallant crew emerging from a smart (fast?) saloon car in smart hats to reassure the public that our brave boys spared not a second in speeding off to teach the Ruskies a lesson?
( I wonder if that car belonged to the Staish and the publicity people borrowed it for the photo???)
On the other hand, in the real world, our boys emerge hatless from an old Morris J2 minibus ( top speed 52mph?) in a not so reassuring image…
