On Middleton St George, 33 Sqn were armed with live Firestreaks, and pointed across the airfield rather than towards the hangars. Weekend leave cancelled. A PR Canberra appeared from somewhere and sat around, but no V bombers.

Tuesday everything back to normal.

As far as calling up reservists was concerned, I guess the view would have been that if anything happened, there would have been no time to do anything except hide under a table.
