Vulcan Bombers' Epic Journey: Falklands War Heroics 🛫🌏

Relive the incredible story of Britain's aging Vulcan bombers in the midst of the Falklands War. Initially on the verge of retirement, two Vulcans embarked on a historic 16-hour, 7,800-mile nonstop flight to the Falklands from Ascension Island. This daring mission involved seven midair refuelings, with each tanker needing refueling as well. While one bomber faced technical issues and had to turn back, the other successfully struck Port Stanley Airport's runway with one of its 21 bombs, crippling enemy operations. Discover how this mission altered retirement plans and contributed to British military success in the Falklands War. 🛫🇬🇧💥
