Took essentially all the Victor tanker fleet, of which some were air to air refuelled to allow Vulcan top ups far enough out. The VC10s were only months away from being ready as tankers. Two of the books cited in that Wikipedia article are well worth reading as a pair, as apart from both being very enjoyable, they offer opposing takes of the Vulcan raids: Sharkey Ward's Sea Harrier over the Falklands and Rowland White's Vulcan 607.
