Anyone remember the Vickers Valiant V bomber?

the forgotten aircraft that dropped the test bombs on Christmas Island slow 50's?


Answers:    I remember it well as I be in the RAF for twelve years.

The Valiant be the first of the the three V bombers, Valiant, Victor and Vulcan.

It was the first to drop a nuclear bomb, the first to see endeavour, during the Suez crisis.

It was also the first to walk out service because of the advances of Russian bombers.

It first come into service at RAF Gaydon, it could cary one nuclear bomb or twent one 1,000lb bombs, work as a tanker or photo reconnaissance aircraft.

A good relation is the one under my source which covers it's existence in the Christmas Islands.
I've other been partial to the Vulcan.
