thanks for your help with my understanding of this topic pontius. I did a bit more research and found
nuclear-weapons.info which had pics of wessex and wasp carrying white weapons.
For 1771, I was trying to point out the lengths we had to go to when installing armaments on an aircraft that was not so equipped from the start. MASS Bus Bars, WoW swicthes, Flap override switches etc to keep crews safe and give them a chance of returning from dangerous missions. what had been routine stuff [on R]became 1o times more complex on aircaft that were equipped with special weapons[MR2]. You would not have wanted me to be complacent. The armaments did not need to be offensive. A flare from a BOZ pod could equally spoil someones day and unlikly to be the floppy link between the seat and stick.
As a youngster I can't comprehend the thought of heading off on a one way mission. let us hope those days are behind us.
