Absolutely riveting stuff! I cannot begin to imagine what thoughts must have been going through your heads re the fate of families left behind etc! Thanks for the additional anecdotes gents.....I wasn't even in liquid form in '62 but I did have a very small taste of the "cold war" atmosphere in Germany in '84. Chilling stuff!
Apologies for the spotters question but toward the beginning of the video, it mentioned the Victor pilot would remove his hands from the controls and it would land itself. Is that just journalistic licence.....never heard that one before?
