Camouflaged Vulcan B1As scramble in about 1964.
It provides an interesting contrast to the B52 scenes in Dr Strangelove. Group Captain Mandrake would have felt at home listening to the calm tones of the Bomber Controller.
Five minutes after those 4 planes had taken off or possibly sooner RAF Upper Heyford, Brize Norton, Benson and Abingdon would have vanished as Soviet SS4 and 5 MRBMs arrived. And I might not have seen my ninth birthday.
