DesTROYer Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Don't do it! I did then spent the next four hours on YouTube watching Vulcan videos. The raid on the Falklands was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertmro Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 In 1969 on my first trip to England as a 19 year old, I was on a train stopped between stations, I don't remember where. It was dusk and I was just looking out the window when A Vulcan pass over with it's landing gear down apparently to land. Maybe someone can figure out where that might have been. Anyway, it left quite an impression one me. The scary part of the Netflix program has to do with the brave men behind pilots who had no safe way to exit the ship in an emergency. They knew they could be sacrificing their lives every time went up. Gigant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHepplestone Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 As a logistical exercise, it was amazing. But if you read Sharkey Ward's account of it, it was pretty much a waste of time and jet fuel Sharkey Ward's book was fascinating , especially if your a SHAR fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
