Vulcan aircraft of No 44 Squadron RAF carried out five bombing missions (code named Black Buck) over the Malvinas during the Conflict. The missions, to disable the runway at Puerto Argentino and various Argentine radar installations, achieved mixed success. However their strategic and propaganda value was considerable. The extreme distance involved (more than 3,800 miles with a total flight time of 16 hours), meant that the raids were at that time the longest bombing missions in the history of air warfare and required the support of eleven Victor fuel tankers.<img src="http://media.iwm.org.uk/iwm/mediaLib/33/media-33824/large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />part of "CENTRAL OFFICE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION" (photographs) Made by: Central Office of Information official photographerFollowing the surrender and repatriation of Argentine forces, the Royal Engineers use an armoured D6 tractor fitted with a flail to clear a minefield in the Malvinas.<img src="http://media.iwm.org.uk/iwm/mediaLib/7/media-7684/large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />part of "VAN DER BIJL N (STAFF SGT)" (photographs) Made by: Argentine private photographerArgentine snapshot showing an Argentine soldier from Batallon de Infanteria Marina 5 (5 BIM) on Mount Tumbledown during the Argentine occupation of the Malvinas Islands.
