So did the Vulcans have all the fun then?
Reading about Skyshield, it seems as if all the fun stuff like this went to the Vulcans.
Did the Victors not get a look in? I know they were a smaller proportion of the V-Force and had the bomber role for a relatively short period.
Any tales from 543 Squadron*? As a sqeaky ATC cadet, I was most impressed by their smart shiny Victors on my 1st annual camp back in 1972. Maybe their work is still Not To Be Talked About? The crews who showed us round the aircraft seemed very proud of them.
I still find the Victor very impressive. It has a sort of "Dan Dare" look to the nose and T-tail aircraft always look graceful in flight.
Mark.
*other than the Victor losses in '66 & 73.
