Bristol Aero Talk: Vulcan Black Buck sorties (Paul Shepherd)

Bristol Aero Talks is a free lecture series presented by Aerospace Bristol, featuring guest speakers and experts sharing fascinating stories on topics including space, flight, engineering, and WW2 history. This particular talk will be delivered by Paul Shepherd, a retired RAF navigator, on Tuesday 13th October at 19:15. Shepherd will discuss his involvement in the 1982 Falkland Islands conflict, examining the operational and logistic challenges of deploying a large-scale military force at extreme range with minimal third-party support. The lecture focuses particularly on the Vulcan Black Buck sorties, which represented the longest-range bombing operations achieved at that time. The talk will be held in the Making Studio, located next to the museum's main entrance at Aerospace Bristol, Patchway. Entry is completely free and no booking is required; attendees are asked to arrive at 7:15pm at the main admissions desk.
