I remember a small book and the movie that was made of it, called 'The War Game' ............it was in black and white and very stark and in one scene a map of Great Britain was shown and then little marks were stuck on it to show possible targets, like army-bases, RAF bases, large airports, etc.,etc.,etc. I'm sure you get the idea. I was watching the movie in the local cinema with my ( then) wife and she said, "We'll be safe, won't we ? We're right out in the country." So I pointed out that we were right in the centre where a big blob of those dots joined up over, Heathrow Airport, Chicksands S.A.C. Base, Ruislip air-base, Northolt RAF base, Ashford army camp, Aldershot army-camp and a regional centre of government and that basically we would , hopefully, go out with a bang, rather than drag it out whimpering. She went a pretty shade of green then and left the cinema.
