The number of the bomber
refuellings has been debated for some time.
I have settled for six, in step with the above RAF Schools video
(published
27 April 2018).
Mr Withers, pilot, participated in the video.

The Vulcan crew : In the centre is captain Flt Lt
Martin Withers
(pilot, 36);
flanked by Flying Officer
Peter Taylor
(co-pilot); Flt Lt Bob Wright
(radar
plotter);
Flt Lt Gordon Graham (navigator); Flt Lt Hugh Prior
(air electronics
officer)
(Please help me to confirm the five names in left-to-right order.)
And out of the frame, Flt Lt R J Russell (air-to-air refuelling
instructor)
his station would have been the supernumerary seat between the pilots.
So let's see where this leads to. If necessary, please offer me
corrections.
