Valiants

V-FORCE REUNION 2010

This will take place at Newark Air Museum on Saturday and Sunday, April 24/25th

WELCOME TO THE ONLY SITE ON THE WEB

DEDICATED TO THE VICKERS VALIANT B1

If, like us, you believe that the Valiant was not only the first, but also the best of the V-Bombers, then this is the site for you!!! It's not only the fact that it was the first into service with the RAF, it was also the first to drop weapons in anger and, of course, the only British Aircraft to have dropped a Nuclear Weapon.

We believe that the time has come for the Valiant to reclaim its rightful place in the history of the Cold-War. Sad to say, I doubt if more than 10% of todays population is aware that this is a member of the V-Force. Let’s unite and put this wonderful aircraft back on the map.
