I don't think any Valiant ever flew again after the January 26th 1965 grounding order?
I believe the last Valiant sortie's were actually on 9th December 1964, the sole complete example, XD818 now at Cosford making the final bomber sortie on that day, with XD812 making the final tanker sortie on the same day.
