Welcome to Cold War Conversations, the home of real stories of the Cold War.

We had Soviet fighters at Mid-29 sitting on our dispersal right outside the squadron.

It was the weirdest thing from being under this continual state of tension to suddenly be drinking

with the Soviet pilots in our bar.

This is Cold War Conversations. If you're new here, you've come to the right place to listen

to first-hand Cold War history accounts.

Do make sure you follow us in your podcast app or join our emailing list at Cold Warconversations.com.

In this episode, we welcome back Nick Anderson, who told us about his RAF service intersecting

TU 95 Soviet bear bombers over the North Sea. The story continues with his accounts of how the

Soviet air crew tried to distract REF planes and how he was almost downed by their tactics.

We end the episode with Nick telling us about the final days of the Cold War.
