6/ The #Avro #Vulcan flew for decades. But it flew its first and only combat missions just before its scheduled retirement. That was in the 1982 #FalklandsWar's #OperationBlackBuck when Vulcans based at Ascension Island bombed the Falklands.

But it was only near the time of its scheduled retirement it saw its first and only combat missions.

Pilots from the #Falklands conflict have spoken to Forces News 40 years on from their roles in the daring #OperationBlackBuck. In 1982, a fleet of aging aircraft had to be flown 4,000 miles from Ascension Island to bomb a vital runway at Stanley. 👇 https://t.co/m7tfnXsEhf

#OTD 30 August 1952 the gloss white Avro Vulcan prototype flew for the first time from Woodvale with Roly Falk flying solo. In May 1982, and with its retirement imminent, the #Vulcan flew its first operational sorties as part of #OperationBlackBuck during the #Falklands Conflict
