I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

27M, not directly or by that name but 'The Penetrators' by Anthony Gray was a novel loosely based on that exercise.

The exercise was, I think, based on Goose Bay and involved a broad front high level penetration at high level of one of the radar defence lines.

Rumour had it that the US radars lacked certain ECCM features and was vulnerable to the relatively unsophisticated hammers on the Vulcans. I heard they achieved hard kills on some of the systems and the height and speed did the rest.

As I say though, this was only what I picked up as rumours a few years later.
