Re 1982
I may be wrong, but I thought that Martin Withers got a DFC for Black Buck and the tanker pilot who stayed on station with insufficient fuel relying on the guys in ASI to work out what he was doing got an AFC and the guy in ASI doing the sums and realising what was happening and getting the extra support in the sky got one of the "non-operational" badges.
Those who know please correct.
