Operation Black Buck by Paul Button

A visual documentation of Operation Black Buck - one of the riskiest yet most ambitious missions the RAF has ever carried out. This print visualises the complex dance of the multiple air-to-air refuelling missions needed to get one Vulcan Bomber to a target 4,000 miles away and back again.

I worked alongside one of the pilots who flew the actual mission to create what could be the most detailed visual depiction of this event that exists. Included are details about the crew and the airframes that took part as well as all the things that went wrong and how the mission nearly ended in disaster.
