Semi-OT: more fan fiction
I have been enjoying Matt Wiser's Red Dawn thread; I have a few related ideas about the UK's involvement, which gave me a great excuse to buy a set of Pilot's Notes for the last British fighter, the English Electric Lightning F6. The central character is Flying Officer Neil Wolfe, a first-tour pilot with 11 Squadron based at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. With NATO politically neutralised, the UK's role is IMO to protect the eastern end of the SOSUS chain and try and control access to the Atlantic as much as possible, to protect its population and industrial base as much as possible while providing support to the US and Canada.
Some of my ideas are not compatible with the Red Dawn alt history; think of it as a similar world rather than another front in the same war.
