Until I think the mid-70s each nuclear armed V-bomber was guarded by one RAF policeman.
=================================

I remember at R.A.F Cottesmore 1959 - 1961 a Victor being guarded by an RAF policeman and dog. The policeman fell asleep in his little hut and left the dog to run free. It attacked Wingco Johnnie Johnson as he approached. No injuries to the C.O but I don't think that the Snowdrop got off as easily.
