Operation Black Buck
- ... that during Operation Black Buck Avro Vulcan bomber XM607 (pictured) flew for nearly 15 hours to drop 21 bombs on an airport in the Falkland Islands? Source: "Of the 21 bombs, one hit the runway at its mid point cratering the concrete... XM607 touched down at Ascension at the end of an astonishing 15 hours and 50 minutes in the air, which included 18 air-to-air refuelings." [1]

- The article notes that the takeoff was at 2350Z at one-minute intervals, so XM607 in slot 13 lifted off at 0002. It landed at 1452Z, which makes a 14-hour 50-minute flight. Changed the hook to "nearly 15 hours". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- I am certain the the Waddington Heritage Centre page, which was created in 2017, contains text lifted from the Wiki at that time. You can see how that text evolved on our Wiki; some of it dates back to 2004, but most from September 2009. There is an exact match with the June 2017 version.
