A Bucket of Sunshine - a term coined by RAF aircrew for the nuclear
bomb that their aircraft would be armed with - is a first-hand
insight into life in the mid-1960s on a RAF Canberra nuclear-armed
squadron in West Germany, on the frontline in the Cold War. The
English-Electric Canberra was a first-generation jet-powered light
bomber manufactured in large numbers in the 1950s. The Canberra
B(I)8, low-level interdictor version was used by RAF Germany
squadrons at the height of the Cold War. Mike Brooke describes not
only the technical aspect of the aircraft and its nuclear and
conventional roles and weapons, but also the low-level flying that
went with the job of being ready to go to war at less than three
minutes' notice. Brooke tells his story warts and all, with many
amusing overtones, in what was an extremely serious business when
the world was standing on the brink of nuclear conflict.
