I read "Vulcan 607" which I greatly enjoyed but it got me thinking, dangerous I know, but with all the problems experienced with training Vulcan crews to tank and finding probes, would it have been at all feasible to convert a Victor back to a bomber? No tanking training, probes already fitted and 35 bombs versus 21. Just a thought.

Incidentally, I am at present reading "Razor's Edge: The Unofficial History of the Falklands War" by Hugh Bicheno, and his quite detailed map of the Stanley air defences does not show a Roland missile battery.
