About this product
Product Information
The Valiant was the shortest lived of the post-war V-bomber force, first flying in 1951 and with production of 104 aircraft ending in 1957, and an official withdrawal in January 1965 after investigation had shown that the main wing spars were suffering from metal fatigue. It operated in four versions, the B.1 bomber, B(PR)1 bomber/photo-reconnaissance, B(K).1 flight refuelling tanker and B.PR(K).1 covering all three roles. Additionally several aircraft were modified for a variety of special roles. The all-black B.2 low level pathfinder bomber was flown as a prototype in 1953. Valiants participated in British atomic bomb tests and made noteworthy long-distance flights, principally operating from Marham and Gaydon. In a change of task shortly before retirement, the aircraft were painted in a camouflage scheme better suited to their new low-level penetration role. In addition to the many photographs and drawings the book also includes a full history of each aircraft built.

- c***t (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy order was exactly as described and arrived quickly and carefully packaged. Very pleased with this purchase. Overall 5 stars. I would just mention that the communication could be a bit better, such as letting me know the order had been received etc. But I trust and recommend this seller having bought from them previously. So the lack of communication wasn’t a big worry. But it’s worth pointing out. Otherwise, excellent experience and very happy.
