Pre-taceval period but still ficticous sandbags.
"Fall-out warning black"
Off-shift ops officer at Waddo swimming in the open air pool. Duty Plod comes round and tells him to get in the shelter.
"It's OK Cpl, any fallout will wash off." Exit Cpl.
Same exercise, Bomber Controller starts broadcasting location of H-bombs going off all over Britain (odd but they didn't all arrive at once). First one was Waddo.
"Waddington, why are you not reporting fallout?"
"Say again, where was the first bomb?"
"Don' be a fool Batt, it's an exercise now get plotting."
Didn't do Batt's career any harm, made at least Gp Capt Regt.
