I was on K1 tankers from 1971-77 (went through the OCU with Victor Pilot in 1971, possibly the only course with 2 Jensen drivers on it, added a touch of class to the line-up outside the OCU hangar!). I think its a shame that no K1 has survived in any decent state of preservation, although I understand Duxford has one. The original B1 in white, before they started sticking bits and pieces all over it has to be the most elegant of the V Bombers. I loved my time on tankers, although it had its downside - 2 hours receiver training on Towline 2 wasnt anyone down the back's idea of fun!

Some great gallery pictures here on the V Force reunion website V-Force Reunion (just flick past the Valiants and tin triangles ).
