Sounds rather frightening there, I cannot imagine tussling with anyone in the confines of a Canberra cockpit would ever be easy, let alone with my life in danger and the a/c in a descent. One question about the LoPro sortie you were flying - if I have followed it correctly the Vulcan was looking to pick you up on its radar, or by visual contact? You said you were acting as observer looking for the contact but why was this necessary if the purpose was for them to pick you up on radar? Bear with me here, I know I may well have missed something but am curious.
