I seem to recall that someone said on PRUNE that no V Bomber had ever flown with a bomb loaded, except for the Valiants in Operation Grapple.

If the above is true, not that I doubt it, the question must be asked how did the required weapons get to the dispersal airfields? It is a long journey by lorry to some of the dispersal sites.

Of course I understand that a Bucaneer was seen flying with a loaded weapon.
