I am looking for a picture of Javelin refuelling from a Valiant tanker in the early sixties. I have a couple but what I am looking for is one like this Valiant/Lightning shot.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does it have to be a Victor?
Google has several versions of an image of a Valiant refueling a Javelin, and another with a Sea Vixen acting as tanker for a Javelin

Best you provide the links because it looks like you've solved the request by accident!

theres several iterations of this image on the web
Picture of "Mid-air photograph shows a Gloster Javelin FAW7 being refuelled by a Vickers Valiant B1 1196087 - Search Stock Photography, Photos, Prints, Images, and Photo Clipart - 1196087.jpg (http://www.fotosearch.com/IST538/1196087/)
