Being a cabbage I always thought something along those lines.

We had done some trials work with the Tornado chaps when they were carrying some new jammer pod, name escapes me.

Basically they trolled up and down a race circuit while we laid various stuff onto them. We were plotting them on the Radar Bomb Scoring system and when they called 'Gadget On' (or similar) we lifted the pen to mark the call, the sites called out the jamming levels they saw and we recorded them

I do recall it being very very boring.

But one of the sites said something like "We are burning through this easy" only for someone with greater knowledge to say "They are not on the Wartime setting"

Next on my 'Pull up a sandbag" posts - "How we saw UFO's over LFA 13 during a Mallet Blow"
