Funny enough i've just finished reading "Vulcan 607" by Rowland White about 2 weeks ago, really good book, enjoyed reading it. Very enlightening as to how very close to disaster the 1982 Falkands conflict could of been and how very much it cost us. The RAF airmen & ground crew gave a sterling performance as they always have & will continue to do.

+1 on the Vulcan 607 book. It is a really good read and shows how close to failure the mission was, especially when the last refueling nozzle was found being used in a crews mess as an ash tray and the bomb racks had to be bought back from the owner of a scrap yard!! but what an adventure for all involved
