I am also unclear about whether the squadron provided QRA whilst based at Akrotiri (1969 - 1975) or was the role different within NEAF.
Finally, would the squadron have provided QRA at Scampton (1975 - 1982) or had the QRA role ceased by then?
Your usual words of wisdom would be much appreciated

I can't speak to your first two questions but Vulcans had definitely ceased real QRA by 1975. As discussed previously we still did it on exercises.
