Later on in its career XH 667 launched an unplanned and totally unprovoked attack on Germany, namely the Northern city of Bremen.
This a/c was one of a handful of Victors which had been converted to 2-point tankers, ie they had the wing pods but no centre-line hose. Another difference was that there was no rear-view periscope fitted. One night 667 was on an RAF Germany towline, which unlike most towlines (air to air refuelling areas) was entirely located over land. The Nav Radar selected trail, the hose wound out normally, then at full trail just carried on. As there was no periscope a visual check from the Lightning was required, which confirmed that there was no hose present. The sortie was abandoned and 667 returned to base.
The hose was found a day or two later in some gardens in the outskirts of Bremen. No one had been hurt and damage was minimal (no doubt the MOD coughed up for new fences, etc), but the idea of a 60' hose scything through a busy street in the middle of the evening doesn't bear thinking about. Not quite bombing, but the end result could have been the same!
