I presume that the Buccaneer Navs were told their targets in advance , as the V Force crews were, so they could do some detailed route planning/timing (SAM and other AD avoiding routes) in the event of the Cold war turning hot? Having said that I'm not aware they were part of the SIOP as were V Force/SAC crews....I may be wrong.


There doesn't seem to be as much information out there regarding Cold War Nuclear Ops from Germany (I've read some Canberra stuff but nothing much about Bucc/Jag etc)-maybe I'm not looking in the right places, or maybe there's a good reason for that...
