      I think you are confused with the two exercises when RAF Vulcan's 'attacked' the US from Canada. All but one of 15 aircraft penetrated US air defences without being intercepted. The results of the exercises were classified until the end of the Cold War. The RAF effectively blitzed the US off the map with relative ease- straight through US radar, fighter and SAM defences- with ease.

    I remember being there watching this that day. I'd never seen a Vulcan fly before so when it went up that quickly and tipped over so heavily, I initially thought it was going to crash, but it just kept on flying in full control. To see something that size achieve that, my 18 year old mind was blown.
    Now to help keep her flying with Operation 2015...

    I had the privilege of seeing one of these aircraft at RAAF Base Amberley (Australia) during the 80s. From memory, there was an altercation. As is the way with RAAF flightline persons, we always feels the need to leave our mark on visiting aircraft. Apparently, someone stuck an adhesive backed decal of the Australian Flying Kangaroo to the outer skin of the airframe. The issue was that the Vulcan employed a radar absorption paint and the decal now destroyed/compromised its effectiveness. Not too sure how it was resolved, but I recall no directive stating we were NEVER to do it again.

    • @steveashforth5097
      @steveashforth5097 10 місяців тому

      No "radar absorption paint" was used on the Vulcan. They were always getting 'zapped'. One famous image shows XH562 with a Kiwi zap. This example in particular stands out because it was done so 'professionally'. Usually, the zaps were placed on as, when, & where they could be.

    British supersonic Delta-Wing aircraft of the Nuclear age, created and adopted by the British as part of the NATO and ANGLO-AMERICAN nuclear alliance. These would fly in a sortie along with American B52s and Phantoms. They could take off in 15-30sec intervals (MTOT) minimum take off and landing. Sometimes they would take off on opposite sides of the runway with each plane turning on take off the opposite way (so as to avoid collision). US AND NATO could have these planes up and ready to bomb in 5-15mins. Superior to the Soviets. Greatest alliance in history.
