Historical Information

The Avro Vulcan was part of the so-called V-Force nuclear bombers operated by the Royal Air Force during the Cold War. It made its combat debut during World War II as a response to the demand for heavy strategic bombers, but gained its greatest fame from the 1950s to the early 1980s. It notably took part in Operation Black Buck during the Falklands War in 1982, where in-flight refueling became necessary due to the great distance to the target.
