Easy USAF were hopeless at navigating.- Evidence F111D that flew over Manchester Airport when should been displaying at Woodford many years ago.
Like I said strategically the Vulcan performed exceptionally well- Remember the Falklands and putting out the runway at Stanley while operating a round trip from Ascension and landing square on target . No remedial casualties or collateral damage .
If that had been a Buff the entire town of Stanley ( five roads, a school, pub, chapel and supply store) would have disappeared and a million innocent smelly and sorry penguins as well !
The Buff isn’t exactly subtle and neither I am afraid to say were SAC in it’s day.
That said need to flatten a mountain and different story to be told.
Personal interest - spent nearly 6 months at the new RAF Mount Pleasant working on the hangar doors many moons agp.
Horrid place in southern summer; bazillion bitting midges , smelly penguins( they really are !), mud to the waist, bloody cold and wet , utterly crap contractor accommodation, and locals not exactly friendly or helpful to be honest.
However that’s for another story.
