Al, in the 60s the requirement was for a single RAFP on each aircraft so there would be two continuously of duty on a 2 ac dispersal and 4 on a 4ac dispersal. At both dispersal and main base this would be agumented by airmen armed with pick axe handles.
In those days there was no acknowledged threat from Spetznaz or 5th columnist and airfield boundary fences were more suited to keeping stray sheep out than intruders.
