Re: What book are you reading now?
Vulcan 607.
It's about all the preparation and execution of the bombing of the airfield at Stanley in the Falkland Islands in 1982, by a single Vulcan bomber.
Performing this was a far more complicated enterprise than you could imagine, the distance to be covered being 4000 miles each way (from Ascension Island) and requiring many air-to-air refuellings. Many other difficulties too, such as no satellite navigation or ground references (over open sea, of course) to guide them.
The Americans insisted that it couldn't be done, but we showed them!
Those were the days when you could be proud to be British!
