About this product

Product Information

The dramatic account of the last British bomber raid - the long-range attack on Stanley airfield that opened the Falklands War. It was to be one of the most ambitious operations since 617 Squadron bounced their revolutionary bombs into the dams of the Ruhr Valley in 1943 . . . April 1982. Argentine forces had invaded the Falkland Islands. Britain needed an answer. And fast. The idea was simple- to destroy the vital landing strip at Port Stanley. The reality was more complicated. The only aircraft that could possibly do the job was three months from being scrapped, and the distance it had to travel was four thousand miles beyond its maximum range. It would take fifteen Victor tankers and seventeen separate in-flight refuellings to get one Avro Vulcan B2 over the target, and give its crew any chance of coming back alive. Yet less than a month later, a formation of elderly British jets launched from a remote island airbase to carry out the longest-range air attack in history. At its head was a single aircraft, six men, and twenty-one thousand-pound bombs, facing the hornet's nest of modern weaponry defending the Argentine forces on the Falkland Islands. There would be no second chances . . .

    Vulcan 607

    This book tells the detailed facts behind the bombing raid on the Falklands airfield. Aging planes, due for retiral are brought together in an incredible exercise in logistics. It was a scramble to get the necessary planes in flying order for this exercise, seeking planes and parts from all over the country. And then there was the training involved in refuelling these large planes. An incredible compelling story!

  • I NEVER KNEW THAT

    A really enjoyable book. I never had any idea what the RAF guys were up against. The more you read, the more you get into the idea of being there. Every school child should read the book.
