Those would be the folk didn't know their arse from their elbow then.
@AR - I don't think it was the loss of the 'element of surprise' as much as 'air supremacy' that moved things higher for the GR1, or at best a combination of them both. Low level was there because it was the best defence against a layered air defence system. Once that was pretty much dismantled, the ML option became available, although it still took a little time to get the LGB option into theatre
