This book gives a rare insight into the life inside the tanker
squadrons of the Royal Air Force, viewed through the eyes of Tony
Golds, one of the RAF tanker fleets longest serving
Navigator/Plotters. During his service career which spanned four
decades, he flew in dozens of aeroplanes, for literally thousands
of hours and covered something in excess of two million miles.
Initially the prime role of the first tankers (Valiants) was to
service the legendary English Electric Lightning interceptor
fighters patrolling the North Sea. During his career, Tony served
in every continent of the world, including a healthy series of
tours at Ascension just after the Falklands War. He was in one of
the tanker crews chosen to assist in devising the procedures needed
to get both the Vulcans in the Black Buck operation down to the
Falklands, and subsequently the Hercules C130 freighters to form
the Ascension / Falklands air bridge, so vital for the support of
the Falkland Islands, once the shooting war was over.
