PVC Patch – Operation Black Buck

PVC Patch – Operation Black Buck

Detailed PVC patch, showing Vulcan and Victor aircraft above the Falkland Islands.

Vulcan XM607 undertook the first Black Buck raid, piloted by our own Martin Withers DFC. Following the raid there was one last refuelling to take place, off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Martin had never been airborne in a Vulcan carrying less fuel than he was as 607 closed in on the final refuelling rendezvous. He described his first glimpse of the Victor tanker as “the most beautiful sight in the world”.

This patch is attached to your clothes or bags by hook and loop. There are two pieces to the patch – one with the hooks and the other with the loops. Fix the loop fastener  piece to your garment or bag. Then attach the PVC hook piece onto the loop fastener to keep the patch in place.
