service life vulcans and victors as tanker aircraft were used in the operation black buck missions so i am wondering why this article refers to the aircraft being in service and respectively three vulcans xm and are identified in the operation black buck article as being involved in operational bombing missions the article on the handley page victor states that it was retired nine years after the last vulcan unfortunately the vulcan article does not give a last operational use date although note should be taken that according to the article the last production vulcans were delivered to the raf in january can someone clarify the dates and modify the dates in the relevant articles please vulcans and victors must have been operational in if the vulcans were retired immediately after the falklands war victors must have been operational until it seems to me that there are so many inconsistencies that clarification is essential to meet the military history project objectives
