I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Best forgotten about in my opinion! Never did like being interviewed by the SIB!!

I think Gp Capt Lloyd at AHB wo0ld disagree with that sentiment as would many museums throughout the world. The RAF Museum is working up a new Cold War exhibition and has just acquired an F111.

Then you should also look up 'parallel history project'.

Also when talking procedures, search out the BBC R4 programme 'Finger on the button.' This is not Cold War history but also right up to date with a practice launch sequence in an SSBN; now that is something that very few people today even consider.
