Well, if BEagle is unable...
MOD, Get your facts straight! The Quote referring to Voyager is a gross error, it should refer to TriStar and VC10 tankers. I suggest the following ammendment:
"This historic event was the first direct delivery of airborne weapons launched from Royal Air Force aircraft based in the United Kingdom since World War Two and demonstrated the Royal Air Force’s ability to conduct highly effective surprise airstrikes at great distance. The missions were ably supported by RAF TriStar and VC10 in-flight refuelling aircraft, which were used four times during the eight-hour sortie".
I do hope that the full story is written correctly somewhere?
