    Pretty sure we bombed the runway to stop them using it. It was quite a famous mission undertaken by some Vulcan bombers with a very elaborate refuelling schedule which meant they could just about get there and back.

    Hope you don't mind a wishy washy liberal correcting a proper god-fearing Englishman on British military history.

    You are correct Driller - a long time ago and I apologise for the error. Just to be correct if you're on that tack, "liberal" in the context you meant is spelt with a capital 'L' so acknowledge your mistake on poor grammar please!

    One Vulcan and one bomb hit the runway. They bombed across it to increase the chances of a hit.
