617, Blue Steel and Cuban Missile Crisis
A question to the ex-Blue Steel bods out in Pprune land if I may. I understood from Humphrey Wynn's book that 617 had 4-6 live Blue Steel ALCMs and operational aircraft in November 1962, rising to a full squadron's worth early in 1963, at which point the press were allowed in to see the operational squadron.
What Wynn doesn't cover is whether the Blue Steel equipped aircraft were part of the alert for the Cuban missile crisis in mid-Oct 1962? As it was nearly 50 years ago now, can anyone cast any light on this please?
Many thanks,
