If there were so many interceptions of Soviet aircraft during the 'cold war', where are all the photos then?
So many times we're shown pictures ('photos') and videos of the intercepted aircraft, and various people have written on here about taking photographs of them. Just recently, on another thread, there was mention of a Russian (?) web-site which includes pictures taken by 'them' of various NATO types during the interception process.
So where are all 'our' pictures?
There must be a bulging filing-cabinet, now covered in years-worth of dust, full of pictures and info relating to intercepts in the past.
Any 'ex-Q' pilots on here? When you come back from a successful 'Q' launch, is there a man waiting to collect the cameras from you? Do you ever get to see the results of your camera-work?
Going back to 'ancient' intercepts and the possibility of old photos ... is it really that secret (nowadays) that on a particular day in the 60s you took photos of various Soviet aircraft which are all now museum-pieces?
