More on Deenethorpe...We also did not use radio while on the ground waiting for takeoff. Signal to Start Engines, Taxi, and Takeoff was given by signal light fom the Tower. We asembled on Radio Silence and di not break Radio Silence until we saw that first burst of Flak or fighters....which ever came first!!
