Re: Hawaii alert: False missile alarm sparks panic

Brought back memories of ‘Exercise Rocking Horse’ in West Berlin - that was simulating war breaking out.

Only challenge we had was that the Russians were closer to the armoury than we were in Married Quarters (with a wire fence at the edge of the Gatow airfield the only barrier in the way) - our life expectancy was less than an hour.

It was quite common to hear of West Berliners committing suicide when the Exercises were held, as they thought the Soviets were coming back, and they remembered their previous incursions.
