Handley Page's crescent-winged death machine may not have been the most glamorous of the v force (damned vulcan slut whore), and the fact that only the pilots had ejector seats was a bit anti-social; but it made a damned fine tanker, without which the aforementioned delta dart-esque tarts wouldn't have been able to bomb Port Stanley's airfield so splendidly during the Falklands war...not bad for something built in a shed near Luton...!
