isaneng, perhaps the reason why there are more tales and reminiscences from those of us derided by digi-yoof as 'cold war warriors' is simply numerical?
There were more people in the RAF I joined than there are in the whole of the UK Armed Forces nowadays... Plus rather more RAF airfields and aircraft than there are today.
But with some RAF pilots not even being taught aerobatics these days, I can't accept that it's still quite the 'fun' you assert.
pr00ne, I'm sure that you and your colleagues dreaded being posted to Vulcans - quite understandable after making it to fast-jets. But after being chopped from the Bucc, the 3 years I had on the Tin Triangle in the late 1970s included perhaps the best quality of life in my entire career!
