Deep in the bunkers and in West Berlin they might have been on high alert but where I grew up in the 60s and 70s, nobody ever expected an actual war against the Warsaw Pact. Mutually Assured Destruction made this seem impossible. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, I remember the genuine fear of a friend that there might then be a war. That soon subsided and it was only the Falklands invasion in 1982 that brought home that we really could fight one. I emphasise the word "seem" - I'm talking about my perceptions at the time and those of people around me. There was never a possibility that we'd fight in Vietnam so, looking at your list, that leaves a 30 year gap between Korea and the Falklands. Cold war or not, the last 20 years of that period now seems like a time of lasting peace. We should be so lucky again. I guess you wasn't around in October 62, that was a worrying time. Nice to know I'm still too young sometimes.

I think the conspiracy stuff is mostly nonsense. The bit I can't work out is eye witnesses at the time saying they saw a cargo plane with no windows. But then some people take it all a bit far, although it is fascinating. 612ua.0catch.com/

He even worked in the UN as security head, and was totally adamant the US govt had a role in this.

Terrifying and horrible that. Remember it so well, that day went to pick up my wife and newborn from Shrews hosp, all happy and looking forward to a special day, coming home and seeing this on the news was just numbing.
