JATFOR Vs ABEX

Too true. At least the 15 ship formation had SKE to keep them apart. JATFOR was VMC only and had excruciating penetrate and scatter plans in case of encountering weather . The cloudy sky was swarming with crud and custard Alberts up to 10,000 feet heading in all directions. The Loss of SKE procedures still kept you going the right way. There WERE however one or two buttock clenching moments!
