Postby Phantom2 » Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:56 pm

Hi Guys
Can anyone help please..?
I have been tasked to find out if Vulcans ever worked out of or visited India at any time?

From my books they did not operate from there, but I am still researching wether they ever detached there.

I've never heard of them out there or any aircrew talk of being out there, but will ask DT when he gets home.

I was in Gan 1963-1964 and we had three bombers detached there during the Indonesian crisis. Maybe the nearest and longest stay in that region. Just a thought.
