Vickers Valiant of the Royal Air Force
nuclear V force in aviation art print by Michael Rondot. Used during the
Suez crisis with conventional payload, the Vickers Valiant v-bomber in
aviation art print available from the Aviation Art Print Company.
Valiant, The Last Valiant by Michael Rondot The Vickers Valiant was the first four-jet bomber of Britain's Cold War
nuclear strike V-Force whose Valiants, Victors and Vulcans, painted in
distinctive anti-flash white, were a familiar sight in the 1950s &
60s. Widely regarded as the best looking V-Bomber and the nicest to fly,
the Valiant equipped nine squadrons during its brief career from 1955 to
1964, dropping bombs in anger during the Suez Crisis and Britain's first
atomic and hydrogen bombs. A Valiant is portrayed taking off with black
smoke pouring from its four Avon engines against a backdrop of a typical
V-Force dispersal airfield. The aircraft is XD818, the H-bomb dropper, now
displayed at the RAF Museum, Hendon as the last surviving example of Sir
George Edward's classic design. Signatories: Sir George Edwards OM CBE FRS, Sir Michael Beetham GCB CBE
DFC AFC, Ken Hubbard OBE DFC AFC. |
