Not a scramble as such, but anyone present at Wideawake for the first Blackbuck launch could not fail to have been impressed. The "other" sqn. were on shift, but certain members of "our" sqn. were called in for extra "see off snag" cover. Two Vulcans followed by 11 Victors at about 1 min. intervals. Middle of the night, all the noise you wanted and clouds of dust and ash blasting about, quite superb.
