Vulcans? Horrible, smelly, dirty, cramped, dangerous, unreliable, temperamental, ergonomic nightmares... I love 'em :lol:

and many thanks to the Argentinians for ensuring that they would be used in anger via mazing long distance operations.

More by luck than judgement.

Doggedly determined stupidity and optimism in the face of a vanishingly small chance of success... as per usual ;)

Who are we talking about, the Argies or the RAF :)

Still, at least the RAF had a go which must have done morale a great deal of good.......what would they do now, suppose 'can we borrow your Vulcan'.

I was in Ascension at the time Paul. We were providing surveillance and SAR top cover for the whole shebang and when they succeeded, and everybody got back, sheer disbelief I think was the order of the day, both from their crews, the tankies and our lot.

I don't mean that in a derogatory way. We were all proud to be doing a job which made a difference. In those days we had a Conservative government whose over-riding concern was the good of the country and they led by example.
