On the night of 30th April/1st May 1982 during the Falklands War, the RAF undertook Operation Black Buck 1: the bombing of Port Stanley Airfield. Bob Tuxford was Flight Commander with 55 Squadron flying the Victor K2 Tanker and he played a pivotal role in the success of the operation.
Bob Tuxford was well known in the RAF for his exploits in the Air-to-Air Refuelling role, as a KC-135A instructor pilot on Exchange duties within the USAF, a Jet Provost Qualified Flying Instructor in Training Command and finally as a test pilot at the Aircraft and Armament Experimental Establishment, Boscombe Down.
As well as this fascinating talk, Bob will be taking questions and he has also kindly agreed to an exclusive signing opportunity of his book “CONTACT!”
