Fascinating (resurrected) thread.
I used to work in ATC at weekends at Woodvale in the 60s and don't recall any mention of it being a dispersal for the V-force. There again as a spotty faced college youth I probably didn't need to know!
I recollect the only runway lighting was goosenecks and certainly no ORPs.
Raises the question for me though; how much runway was needed to lift one of these beasts to go to work for the day with an ordinance load + round trip(?) fuel?
