Does anyone think that any aeroplane would get within 600 miles of say Moscow cruising at 60,000 ft in the mid-70's - late 90's???
The drawing appeared in the 1968 50th Anniversary RAF Year Book. I think it was just wishful thinking. However, how close would a Vulcan or Victor have got to Moscow even at low level? I think that might have been wishful thinking as well, despite the skill and determination of the crews that would have flown them.
