A further question, PN.
Was Black Buck 2 an attempt to cut the runway, as per Black Buck 1, or was it an attempt to crater the area where the runway would have been extended?
I was thinking that there might have been intelligence to indicate a planned runway extension that resulted in BB2 deliberately attacking that area?
Reydelcastillo,
Did you witness the arrestor gear as highlighted in the following post?
