Operation Black Buck, conducted by the British during the 1982 Falklands War, marked the longest-range bombing raid in history, spanning nearly 6,600 nautical miles. The Avro Vulcans, aided by 11 Victor bombers, targeted Port Stanley Airport to hinder Argentine military operations. Notably, Black Buck 6 destroyed a radar site, resulting in casualties. Despite limited successes over 74 days, the operation demonstrated the RAF’s rapid response, affirming British control of the Falklands, which remains to this day. Additionally, Corgi offers detailed die-cast models of aircraft and military vehicles for collectors and enthusiasts.
