you talking about black buck 1? this thing has been flying to remind everyone who watches it about one bombing mission?

i thought it was to educate people about this being one of the instruments of the cold war... something that lasted for decades.

either way i'm not getting into a slanging match about the vulcan's achievements. part of the reason the lottery grant was given was that this would educate children about the cold war as written in the objectives of the project, i've not seen the Falklands mentioned, unless someone can correct me?

and while i'm at it, how effective it has been as an educational instrument.
