The PR value of watching a RATO take-off would be negated by the PR value when the RATOG returned
Again one of my ancient photos taken at a c.1954-55 BOB diplay at Biggin shows that the USAF were not too worried about RATO being kept on the aircraft after use.
ISTR the RATO rockets made a heck of a noise; but what were 1950's air shows without lot's of noise and smoke etc!
