Vulcan XM597 was on her way back to Ascension Island from a missile strike when trouble struck. While refuelling from a Victor tanker aircraft, she fractured a fuel probe. Short of fuel and in serious difficulty, the Vulcan was forced to divert to Rio de Janeiro Airport in Brazil. The pilot managed a remarkable landing on the short stretch of runway. The aeroplane was immediately seized by the Brazilian authorities and the crew were stranded for seven days. XM597 was eventually released on condition that she take no further part in hostilities.
