I seem to remember posting a response on this or a similar thread some years ago. At the height of the Cuba crisis, I was a 16 year old on holiday from boarding school. My father was the CO at RAF Tuddenham (a flight of 107 Sqn at Feltwell). My OMQ bedroom window looked out upon the base where 3 Thor missiles were errect, fuelled and streaming lox for several days at the height of the crisis. Life carried on as normal without family dispersal plans or military support. So glad it ended as it did or none of us would be here now.
