The planners expressed the "hope" that the Soviets would not want to engage them, but it was accepted that the more likely outcome was war with the Soviet Union. The RAF bombers were to commence offensive operations on arriving in Finland. The RAF volunteer aircrews were to wear Finnish Air Force uniforms and have FAF markings on their aircraft. If shot down and captured they were to claim to be volunteers and not members of the RAF. A total of 50 aircraft were assigned to the operation. One fighter squadron was planned to operate from northern Sweden to protect the lines of communication.

The French were far more aggressive in their plans. They even put forward a plan to land at Murmansk.

Maybe I should write a book
