It's got be the Vulcan considering the length of service. I will always remember being quite amazed as a teenager at an airshow how I could feel the vibrations in my stomach as a Vulcan did a " touch and go ". I remember when one of the early ones flew out to Australia on what was probably a promotional tour, but crashed on its return to the UK - very late fifties I'm guessing.

I think Vulcan also. Mainly because it operated in the Falklands war in the aggressive role. Also it was more stable at low-level and could withstand low-level combat flying better. At high altitude I would probably choose the victor as it was extremely agile and then the valiant.

I'm reading Vulcan 607 at the moment... very interesting. Great book.

slighty of track but can always remember XH508 making her last apperance at the Mildenhall Air Show, not many time my yank mates were speechless, then one god if we had a plane like that we'd keep her flying.
Lets hope she gets there again, has to be the Vulcan for me what a crowd pleaser.

The Best V-Bomber

Absolutely no contest... The Vulcan wins my vote.

Lowest radar cross-section, greatest versatility, strongest airframe, best chance of survival in a shooting war.

It is also by far the prettiest of the three.. and you know what they say.. what looks right flies right.
