BEAGLE.
I suspect you rather miss the point, probably because you are, on this topic, ill-informed.
The MoD/RAF weather forecasters consistently out-performed all other NATO teams in the secret [and routine] forecasts for selected WP locations. The organisation was integrated in every WOC/COC, and in the deployed Harrier Force and the deployed 1 BR Corps. It was NBC trained and equipped and exercised.
When the Wall came down we discovered that we had also outperformed the WP teams FOR THEIR OWN AIRFIELDS.
Every day, on every base in BFG, in addition to routine Low levels for NW Europe, forecasts were prepared for the WP targets. All through the cold war. This would have continued in war.
No gongs. No complaints, we were all volunteers ... the money was good, although the MQs were not a patch on the houses we left in the UK.
Our motto was "when we are wrong no one forgets, when right, no one remembers".
We no more wasted time/space/momey than the crews and the tanks we supported.
back to the much more pleasant subject of CV?
