Vulcan cash

There's a few good Vulcan-related documentaries on the interwebs if you go torrenting.

Quite interesting to hear what they'd have gone through if they actually had to fly to Russia. One major problem was obviously the effect of nuclear bursts from other attacking forces - the flash alone would blind anyone in the cockpit.

The American solution was to spend millions developing special resistive glass for the cockpit windows. However, the plucky RAF pilots would have just put an eye patch on so that if they were blinded in one eye, they could still fly using the other!

Apparently they were also expected to fly back home after dropping their payload but one of the interviewed pilots' idea was to continue east and hook up with a Mongolian shepherdess!

Might have been an idea to risk flashing to both eyes first!!
Mongolian birds tend to look like they have had facial cosmetic treatment with malt shovels!!

Well they make a nice breakfast, but I'm just saying that partial or full blindness would not be the most inconvenient malady.
