Using the RAF Squadron bible (aka Jeff Jefford's book on RAF squadrons):

Victor = 10, XV, 55, 57, 100, 139 . Also 214 and 543 re-equipped with Victor after Valiant grounding

Vulcan = IX, 12, 27, 35, 44, 50, 83, 101, 617

Valiant = 7, 18, 49, 90, 138, 148, 199, 207, 214 & 543

Plus 230 and 232 OCUs.

As BEagle suggests, 134 was long gone by the V-Force era; it was renumbered as 131, which was the 'shadow' identity of the Fighter Weapons School (Meteors) at Leconfield and the Driffield between 1956 and 1958, and then the 'shadow' for 229OCU (Hunter) for a few months in 1958, before it too was renumbered (as 145).
