RAF Flies Tanker On SAF - AVweb

Very cool. A long way from when my dad flew Vulcan bombers in the 70’s. Watched a “scramble” of 4 take off from RAF Scampton once. The noise was amazing, felt in the chest. And the crap that came out of 16 Rolls Royce Olympus engines at take off power was equally impressive. Little bits of black soot blew across the airfield as the flight of 4 disappeared into the clouds. Probably carcinogenic but my 12-year-old self loved it!
