Vickers Valiant at The Royal Air Force Museum Midlands. The Valiant was the first of the V-Bombers to see service, and the only one to drop live nuclear weapons. She was also the first to leave service after the new low level attack role proved too stressful for the Valiant fleet. #coldwar #vickers #valiant #bomber #warbirds | Daniel J Wheatcroft

Entering service in 1955, the Vickers Valiant was the first of the British V Bombers to enter service. Believing it’s speed and operating altitude would help it avoid fighter aircraft, the Valiant had no defensive armament! The Valiant was the first British aircraft to drop an atomic bomb in 1956. The Valiant was retired early from service in 1965 when metal fatigue was discovered on a number of aircrafts’ wing spars. #avpay #museum #museums #museumlife #museumlover #aviation #aviationlife #avia

Vickers Valiant - The First British V-Bomber & Suez Conflict When the Cold War made a new generation of British heavy bombers with nuclear capability vital, Vickers rose to the challenge and had the first Valiant flying by May 1951. In less than two years, the company delivered 108 aircraft for RAF service and production continued until 1957. The black-painted 'Pathfinder' version (B Mk II) showed extraordinary promise for high speed, ultra-low level attacks - but the need for this capability wa
