Bearing in mind the Vulcan was designed as a high level nuclear bomber, if the first bomb of the 21 hit the runway, then that bomb could have been the instant sunshine device and would therefore been a DH and not an 800m miss, so eminently acceptable.

The calibration of the double offset box was well worth the effort.

Personal Reminiscences
 

I've just finished producing book called Victor Boys telling personal stories written by aircrew and ground crew. I would like to do another one called Vulcan Boys in the same vein so I need lots of help and stories and photos. Two of the chapters of the Victor book were on Black Buck One but for the Vulcan Book I woulkd like to cover all the Black Buck sorties but I need help from you all. Please contact me as soon as you like so that you can start writing! It should be an absolutely super book with your help.

Operation Bluck Buck

Entertaining 45 minute drama on Radio 4 will be available until mid February.

DD, is that a repeat of one a few years ago with the engineer officer cast as your ubiquitous Scot, a la Scotty from Star trek?

PN
Yes it was, first broadcast 5 June 2012.

Not exactly Bomber. Now that was a good aviation based radio drama.

GG, Thanks. I must tell one of the characters, he missed it first time round.

Whatever way anyone looks at it, that was one hell of an op. Hats off.
