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?

MODs current Command and Control platform.

Please supply your own paper - fitted for but not with (not in original contract)

^^^^^^

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.

and will only cost £ 100 mm and five years to go through all the paperwork, training etc etc

Unless BAE Systems get the contract. In which case, double your planning figures HH

Was it the Yanks or the Germans who paid some fantastic price for an aircraft toilet roll holder about 10 years ago???????????????

It's already in breach of Elf-n-Safety Regs by not displaying appropriate Biohazard symbology :}

I hope it will be built solidly enough to be able to sustain 9G!!


Will it be EMP proof?

Don't forget to include the "Independent Advice" from QQ

Moreover - no lapstrap for the morning appointment after the curry the night before!:ok:

That's "Independent Technical Evaluation", unless of course you'd like both, I'm sure they'd do you a discount.

Well, as always, the QQ Advice will include an essential need to pay for more Advice, and yet more Advice from that Advice etc and so on.

Wow!, Since when have you been allowed to take photos *inside* Royal aircraft?

Seems fair enough for the OP to ask a perfectly sensible question for a second time, as it didn't come close to getting answered the first time either!

Excellent! :ok:
