One Vulcan bomber is nowhere near enough, several where flow which the sole purpose was fuel carrying, it would fly so far in-flight refuel others, leaving enough for them to get back to the Acension islands, leaving the others to carry on.
Victor tanker also helped.
The RAF was ask to draw up a plane to do a bombing run so they wouldn't be left out.
