  1. What a great story on the Avro Vulcan, also on the internet is the bombing raid on the runway at the Falkland Islands in 1982,
    My story with the Vulcan was back in 1959 with the opening of Wellington airport and a Vulcan nearly came to grief when the port side landing gear hit soft ground before the runway, the landing gear was just hanging down limp as she powered away, the crew landing safely in Auckland 30 min later, not knowing if the gear would hold. It did.
    As a 10 year old on the side of a hill overlooking the strip, also watching Voodoos and Super Sabre’s streak across the sky, good days

    • I just checked my fathers scrap book(remember those) and apparently the Vulcan landed on a grass strip with little extra damage, and flew back to Britain a few months later.
