IWM Duxford | IWM In Conversation With: Squadron Leader John Reeves: Operation Black Buck
Squadron Leader John Reeve had a long and distinguished career in both military and civil aviation. While serving in the Royal Air Force, he was an Avro Vulcan pilot and was one of the pilots selected to take a leading role in Operation Black Buck, the 1982 missions during the Falklands conflict designed to deny the Argentinian forces the use of Port Stanley airport.
