To deter a nuclear attack by the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War, NATO deployed its own nuclear forces throughout Europe. The 2nd Allied Tactical Air Force (2ATAF) consisted of the air forces of Germany, Holland, Belgium and the RAF in Germany. During the period, the RAF mounted Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) at four bases along the Dutch/German border. The painting depicts the scramble of a nuclear armed 14 Squadron Canberra B(i)8 at RAF Wildenrath in 1969. Fortunately, the ‘scramble’ turned out to be a practice to check reaction times.
