  • HISTORY ASPECTS:
    Avro Vulcan B2 XM597 played a crucial role in the Falklands War of 1982, particularly in the famed Black Buck 6 mission. The conflict arose when Argentine forces occupied the Falkland Islands, prompting a British military response. The Vulcan XM597, part of the Royal Air Force’s No. 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron, was selected for the long-range bombing mission to strike the runway at Port Stanley Airport in the Falkland Islands.
    The Black Buck 6 mission was a remarkable feat of strategic aviation, requiring multiple aerial refuelings and covering a staggering distance. On May 3, 1982, XM597, piloted by Squadron Leader Neil McDougall, flew from Ascension Island to the Falklands, carrying conventional bombs to disable the runway and deny its use to Argentine aircraft. The success of this mission demonstrated the long-range capabilities of the Vulcan and the RAF’s commitment to achieving strategic objectives during the Falklands War.
    Introducing this 1:72 scale model a tribute to the iconic aircraft that played a pivotal role in one of the most daring and strategically significant missions of the Falklands War. This meticulously crafted replica captures the details of XM597’s unique modifications for the mission and allows aviation enthusiasts and collectors to own a piece of history. Display this model with pride, commemorating the bravery and ingenuity of the RAF crews who executed the Black Buck 6 mission during the Falklands War.
