Can't leave it any longer, Pete what's RAF Ben****ers? Got a feeling, I'm gonna look foolish.

What was RAF Ben****ers? QRA Nuclear strikes

Yes.
Then had the compulsory wearing of short trousers for 2 years at a Grammar school.

I Doubt you'd get 11, 12 or 13 year old boys nowadays wearing short trousers.

Not only them, some other stuff as well, it's a museum now I think, after Uncle Sam left and the Cold War ended
