Genuinely impressed about Uncle Vulcan pilot.Me old man was a front-line Lightning pilot. Intercept Ivan's bombers from West Germany without enough fuel to get back in the event of the balloon going up because there wouldn't be a 'back' to return to.
They painted the Vulcans anti-flash white. Like that would ensure the megaton blasts would bounce harmlessly off. Ah, it was a happier age.

Mr uncle had to pancake one after the landing gear didn't fully deploythis with potentially 5 megatons in the bomb bay. Except they couldn't tell you what they were ferrying. *taps nose.
I do love the Lightning. Two engines and a paper plane wing, just enough room for a little guy to sit in the top in a bubble. And Mach 2!
