Exercise Excalibur

I'm unsure whether this should be in this forum or Aviation Nostalgia, but here goes.
I'm doing some research into the series of Excalibur exercises which
commenced in the mid 1980s and finished in 2005.
This was exclusively a USAFE exercise until 2005 (and 2004?) when the RAF also took part. It was based at RAF Lakenheath.
I would welcome any input from anyone who was involved in this exercise at some point over the years either as pilot or in a supporting role.
To put it simply I believe the exercise was basically a strafing and bombing competition held at Holbeach and Wainfleet......or am I being too simplistic?
All contributions welcome.
