This was officially know as Victor Alert or "VA" back in the mid 1980's. This was when the USAFE had fully mission capable (FMC)F-111E model aircraft based here at RAF Upper Heyford. These "one-elevens" were preloaded with two B61 Nuclear Weapons on weapon stations 5(left) & 6(right). (HeyfordBone)
