Vickers Valiant






Last updated on: April 30, 2013

The Valiant was the first of the “V Bombers”, nuclear-capable strike aircraft of the Royal Air Force. A total of 110 were built and all are listed below.

This is a work in progress and any help would be appreciated. Information on these planes is rather difficult to locate online and this work will remain incomplete unless you the readers offer to help me. Please feel free to pass along any information that you might have.

At the end of this page is a list of people who have graciously offered their help. Thank you all very much!
