Serious enough for families to be advised to maintain a grab bag to board the massive fleet of RAF coaches to go to Ostend, although that bit never got played.

Oh yes it did... but only the once!! Unfortunately, the local population thought it was for real and joined the convoy causing a bit of a traffic problem for the polizei. After that, whenever it came to the evacuation phase, the convoy,
