Prodding a Vulcan

Back in 1982, during the first couple of months of the AAR Training courses, we quite often used the Vulcan to practice prodding.
The reason was simple - there was a huge training programme and the Victors were seriously over-stretched.

The Vulcan in the picture has a paint job I don't recognise. If my memory is correct (questionable) the Vulcans we used were all in the standard paint scheme.

I don't remember any adverse comments from our pilots and it was, certainly, an impressive sight from behind.
