No doubt about it Miles, Percival and de Havilland built some good looking machines

I was thinking that it was part of one of the current military 12 X 12 tents at first but on further inspection I don’t think it can be as the intersocket angles are wrong.

Wouldn’t touch that vile paper even with gloves on.

Nearly as bad as the Times.

As a matter of interest does anyone know just how many airframes are lying around there in that state? Seems a terrible waste of aircraft which someone somewhere might wish to give a home to.

Last I heard they are staying at Coventry but whether that will continue to be the case I’m not sure.

Apparently it’s still for sale – and it’s yours if you’ve got $200,000.00 to spare. Assuming that you haven’t and you still want to see one, the other survivor is F-PDHE in the Bezard Collection at Persan-Beaumont. Viewing by appointment only!

Thank you for that information. The memory is not as bad as I thought as I’ve seen nothing about that little beastie since I was a lad more years ago than I wish to remember.:)

It looks good, and I think it was mentioned on the NEAM forum, but it would stop public access to the cockpit which raises money for the Vulcan.

So anyway, we’ve now had a Victor into the air again, and XL319 trying hard to make it too, so should we all be watching the Valiant at Cosford closely in the coming months? :diablo:

I hope not given their corrosion/fatigue problems. I remember when Valiants operated from Gaydon and seem to recall that they were about the noisiest of the three V bombers.
