Decisions, decisions :rolleyes:

I can’t decide, they were all fascinating aircraft in their own individual way. I wish we still had something like them in service today doing dual-role tanker/bomber missions with a TIALD pod and a load of 1000lb Paveway LGBs or Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the wings and in the weapon bay 🙂

There are some nice V-bomber pics at http://www.defenceimagedatabase.mod.uk/fotoweb/ (do a search for Valiant, Vulcan or Victor).

Shocking to know this but the Vulcan was fitted with 1000lb LGB’s and underwent succesfull firing trials in 1982, it was also fitted with sidewinders for self defence but this was only a mock up and never anything more.

Regards,

John.
