As for RoA, it was an error to assume either one-way missions (the idea was anathema to the crews when it was posited to crews in Cyprus) or that we planned to return to base.
Just checked one of our routes. The whole route was 2,200 miles with 700 miles at low level and a total of 900 miles in enemy territory. From take-off to top of descent was about 850 miles.
