I know I've mentioned this snippet before, maybe even on this thread, but when I enquired of Maj Gen Julian Thompson as to the effect of the Vulcan missions, he replied that it had been a superb psychological device, and that the Argentinian conscripts were terrified every time they heard an aircraft in case it was the Vulcans coming back.

Incidentally, I was in the second to front row of the auditorium, and I could hear an awful lot of young green types muttering "Vulcan?", and "whassat then, chaps?" behind me.

Apologies to the good Maj Gen for the paraphrasing of your comments, should you happen to be reading this!
