From the Manufacturer For many years, the jet-powered Avro Vulcan formed an important part of Great Britain’s nuclear deterrent strategy. Fortunately the aircraft was never called upon to deliver nuclear weapons, and its only operational use was during the Falklands War in 1982. Operation Black Buck saw three Vulcan B.2 bombers performing conventional bombing tasks against Argentinian targets. With the help of Victor aerial refueling tankers, the Vulcans flew 6,259km from Ascension Island, accomplishing the world’s longest-range raid up till that time. The first raid against Port Stanley rendered the airfield unusable to Argentinian fighters on May 1. In total, Vulcans flew three missions against the airfield and two missions against radar installations, and they were especially fitted with an AN/ALQ-101 electronic countermeasures pod and AGM-45A Shrike anti-radar missiles.
