I as on leave in London staying with my cousins, (F)17&18 when the panic started. I tried to reassure them as being on the V Force, (90Sqn Valiant tankers) I hadn't been recalled from leave so it wasn't that serious. I hardly saw them, they were off to demonstrations in Trafalgar Square, CND marches and things like that.
Damned John Kennedy. He fouled it all up.
