One of our plotter's , 'Bertie' Wooster (IIRC), transitioned from the Javelin as that force ran down to the Vulcan as a plotter. We were in awe of this hugely experienced night fighter nav rad with a massive 1,700 hours, some 4 times what we sprogs had at the time.
'Wow, night fighters, how many hours night do you have?'
We were most disappointed when we found he had less than 150 hours night
PS
One story I heard concerned the Victor Training Flight. Not the VTF of Tankertrashenav's time but of the early Mk 1 sorties in the late 50s. The QRA force in Germany was used to delouse the Victor as it exited the ADIZ. I believe the fighters were not pre-warned but were scrambled and vectored east as the Victor entered the FRG.
