Yep.. It's in the Book Vulcan 607 that Mike lent me. The story of the first Black Buck mission and more... Pilot with the cactus was Willis I think? Same chap who flew the first Vulcan all the way to The Falklands. Fantastic book.

Edit.. Dacs has just informed me that the pilot was Martin Withers, not Willis.
He also sent me a photo of his framed Vulcan portrait... Signed by Martin Withers... Class or what?
