RW question for pontius

In 1963 the plan for release clearance of the WE177A was #1Buccaneer, #5Wasp, #6 Wessex HAS3, #7 Wessex HU5, #10 Sea King (to be)

Pontius, did these RW platforms have the circuits to realease live special weapons. I know when I was at JATE I had custody of a number of classified Tie Down Shemes for Air Transport (Inc RW) also a number of Helicopter Underslung Load schemes. It was quite a chore to look after these documents. I had to laff as they were black on white tracings from photo's where, for Sy purposes, the weapon was drapped in a tarpauline!!

I had a bit of experience, and recieved AoC in C Commendation for designing the armament system on the Nimrod R. went to great lengths with ARM Div at A2 E2. had to jump through countless hoops when working on the MR2 (Special radios) because of the Special Weapons circuits.

All very spine chilling stuff
