In 1982 as the British Naval task force steamed south to liberate the Falklands, the RAF devised an extraordinarily audacious plan to use near retirement Vulcan bombers to attack the captured airfield in the longest bombing raid in History. A story of engineering feats, air crew bravery, ashtrays pressed into frontline military service and Police men up ladders. A curiously British tale of determination and impudence.
