Command & Control Platform
I wonder if anyone can either confirm or deny a situation that I came across in the 60's ? While I was walking past the Hangers, I spotted a friend, supervising some Airmen washing down a Victor with high pressure hoses. The thing that stood out was that all the Victors on camp had been re-painted in camouflage for low level operations, where as this Victor was still in the old Anti-Flash white.
As I approached my friend, obviously with a bemused expression on my face, he said "It's a Command & Control Platform & has been flying in the Stratosphere gathering up all the air burst Nuclear radiation, so we are washing off all the millisieverts"!!
This is the first time that I had heard the expression Command & Control Platform. I know that the United States run three E-4B Command & Control Platforms out of Offutt AFB. Did the RAF use this facility in the 60's?

The toilet roll holder is going to be a mod.
A 1* led team is being formed to hold trials to decide which side it should be on. Hot weather trials in Florida and Cold weather in St Moritz have been pencilled in.
