Suprised it took so many pages to recognise that BB was not just about bombs on runways. I attended a great lecture at london Society of Air Britain some years back where the senior AEO spoke of all the BB sorties. passive EW indicated the presence of Radar controlled Air Defences. what else could have taken these out. Great effort at the time to equip the aircraft with the means. Not just Flight Refuelling but new Nav and weapons systems. I certainly remember working 18 hr days. comming home for tea and back till midnight or 2am.
