Same sort of answer to the Tornado I would guess.
The Vulcan OTOH had already proven an ability to fly that distance and with only 3 prods, well half as far again as it happens albeit a Mk 1. That it only needed 3 prods would have been down to better sfc and the availability of diversions along much of the route.
