Hi....
my favourite is by far the Vulcan but the best is probably the Victor for the traditional role, but once the RAF realised they'd have to revert to low level bombing the Vulcan gains some ground back...............

Vulcan for me also.

the Vulcan is also the only one to drop bombs in anger........

Yes.....the Vulcan
Have you read Vulcan 607 by Rowland White ? Interesting stuff (Victors and Vulcans)....Respect to all crews
no i haven't read it i'm afraid, i would've bought a copy but i'd never get the time to read it all, i have read a few great accounts though, most noteably one in flypast back along, but with this year being the 25th aniversiary no doubt there'll be more to read soon.........

But looking back its still a bit fuzzy.
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story...tell it to readers digest!!!

Victor for me, just like the Victor for the traditional role it play`s and love high altitude bomb runs LMAO
yes the victor is the best in that role and probably best overall, although the RAF did realise that they'd have to be going low level at some point, where the Vulcan comes in no.1............

Vulcan for me as it was a great aircraft, and was the only one to drop bombs in anger. Also the delta wings made it aerodynamically sound.
yes i think we'll go round in circles on this one, it's between your personal favourite and the best..........

If the Vulcan had not been the best, why was it then the only one to be kept in the bomber role until the end of its career?

because she was better at low level where the RAf realised they'd have to fly as conventional bombers were too easy a target, and the others were finding more use in other areas- the plan was to retire the Vulcan before the Falklands as it was they were retired from the bombing role not long later..........

My father was on Valiants during the British atomic bomb tests at Christmas Island, so for me thats what it has to be..
that is a plus in her favour but from a technical point of view she was lagging slightly behind the others........
