Were these missions the first bombing raids to be launched from the UK since 1945?
Along with Eldorado Canyon in 1986 there were also B-52H missions during 1999 (Yugoslavia) and 2003 (Iraq).

1999 - RAF Fairford.

Profile #05 - Operation Noble Anvil - B-52 & B-1's @ RAF Fairford

2003 - RAF Fairford.

Edit. I have since noted that you were seeking info on RAF operations. Please disregard.
