This particular Vulcan actually saw action in the Falklands war. The two bomb symbols on the nose denote two bombing missions against Argentine positions. The rather faded Brazillian flag is for the occasion when she was damaged by Argentinian fire and had to divert to Brazil (instead of going all the way back to Ascention Island). She was impounded by the Brazillian authorities, and only released on the proviso that she wasn't used again against the Argentinians. Yeah. Right.
