Arters, are your comments directed towards the airframes per se, or their suitability for the role in which you flew them?
I don't doubt that the Victor was a better tanker (except, perhaps, from the receiver's point of view) than the Vulcan - but as a reasonably agile low level bomber, the Vulcan beat the pants off that Handley Page device!
The Valiant was only ever an 'interim' solution for the V-force.
