Thinking out loud, one wonders, for example, how weapons [if there were any] were retrieved from RAFG during the run-down.
Other than secretly, of course.
Well quite secretly but they were returned to UK in the same way they were sent out, on a C130. As I recall the RAFG QRA stood down around early 1988 and the SSA was closed in 1996 when all weapons were returned to Honingtons SSA. They were then moved over time back to AWE with Honington SSA closing after the last convoy left in 2001.
Within the UK all weapon movements were done by road convoys.
