Thanks for highlighting the role that our beloved #XM594 played back in 1982, belying its reputation as a troublesome airframe ! #twitterVforce

Only one possible subject for the #NAM4photoFinish tonight! #LestWeForget
Operation Black Buck One Unfortunately Sqn/Ldr Richard(Dick)Russell AFC wasn't there for this photoshoot and isn't mentioned but played a big role in the success of the mission. #twitterVforce #Falklands42 #OperationBlackBuck #Superfuse
42 years ago, day one of a 14 week course,a course we had to complete, before we could train recruits an combat engineer's.
Good morning, this is One Quebec Delta'.........Superfuse. The return of Vulcan XM607 and her crew to Ascension Island on the 1/5/1982 and celebrate the success of Operation Black Buck One. #twitterVforce #Falklands42 #BlackBuck1
Last preparations for Operation Black Buck. It will require two Vulcans (one as backup) 13 Victors and 1 Nimrod, with 19 refuellings, 1.5 million lbs of aviation fuel and twenty-one 1,000lb bombs per Vulcan. Here is the refuelling plan: all worked out on a Casio calculator.
April 30th 1982: The UK prepares for a titanic "shock & awe" mission on the Falklands, beginning with the longest bombing raid in history. On Ascension, the Vulcan crews prepare to enter the history books....
April 30th 1982: Vulcan XM594 performs a practice run Strategic Tactical Command Atlantic Nuclear (STCAN) mission from the UK, just to let the Soviets know not to have any ideas while our backs are turned... I guess it masked other Vulcan activity elsewhere 🙄
@Zatopekk @RDPHistory Dick Russell was superstitious and did not want a “dead man’s photo” i.e a photo that would appear in the newspaper if they were killed. The picture below is of the full crew taken after the cease fire. Note Dick Russell’s khaki being lighter than the rest, another story…..
Here it is! Frank has talked at the museum before, and it was very good. Booking details are all on the poster.
Also, MOD briefing mentions that the junta is trying to buy AM39 Exocets from South Africa, and also looks at further options for manpower requirements, perhaps even another brigade, as assistance from Chile is to be kept quiet, and how do you sink an aircraft carrier legally? 🤔
April 29th 1982: British JIC report states that the Soviet Union have offered Argentina help "across the board" including direct military action, whilst Brazil are found to be providing aircraft to the junta, and the last comment, a faux news item, is oddly funny... (continues)

My mum says: come to @wehavewaysfest and settle the Bren/MG42 debate once and for all wehavewaysfest.co.uk
On this day in 1982, the first mission under Operation Black Buck was flown with RAF Vulcan bombers departing Ascension to attack Stanley Airport. 🇫🇰🇬🇧 At almost 6,600 nautical miles, Operation Black Buck was the longest bombing raid in history at the time. #Falklands42
Falklands Diary '82 - We spent a lot of time on aircraft recognition and generally studying the Argentine air assets. There was great emphasis on the danger of the FMA Purcara. I didn't agree. Surely the fast jets.....

Wednesday's Aircraft is a Westland Wessex HC MK2. This particular airframe reg XV728 is on display at @NewarkAirMus. A must visit for any aviation enthusiast 💯. This helicopter started life with 18SQN of the RAF in 1968 before being retired and then bought by the Museum 30 years…

@AvroVulcan617 Cool pic! I met Martin Withers on the last day that my Dad saw "his beloved" XH558 fly. Emotional day!
I’ve had a cracking day on the ranges today………….. #APWTnailed
@AvroVulcan617 @almurray I would counter that the suppressing fire from a bren is sufficiently overwhelming, and can last longer.
Here it is! Frank has talked at the museum before, and it was very good. Booking details are all on the poster.
Also, MOD briefing mentions that the junta is trying to buy AM39 Exocets from South Africa, and also looks at further options for manpower requirements, perhaps even another brigade, as assistance from Chile is to be kept quiet, and how do you sink an aircraft carrier legally? 🤔
April 29th 1982: British JIC report states that the Soviet Union have offered Argentina help "across the board" including direct military action, whilst Brazil are found to be providing aircraft to the junta, and the last comment, a faux news item, is oddly funny... (continues)
April 29th 1982: ARA Hipolito Bouchard joins Task Group 79.3 off Tierra del Fuego. This force now packs a whopping fifteen 6.1" guns, twenty 5" guns and eight MM38 Exocet missiles plus armour... JIC reports that Belgrano group has even sailed 8-10 miles from the Chilean coast.
