In the late '60s having completed an exercise helping to defending AKROTIRI, we managed to persuade stores that as we were flying direct back to the UK (with a couple of refuels), and muttering something about V bombers, we were given the said amount of inflight rations. We had "nutty" sandwiches, drinks etc up the ying-yang. We tried, but it beat us in the end. Lack of space and consumption rate in a Sea Vixen just not like the V force.
