An exciting trip in a Victor in Oz Victor Incident

Some history of the two of the V's in Oz Blue Steel South Australian trials 1957 -1965

A Valiant B.1 (WZ366) of No 49 Squadron was the first RAF aircraft to drop a British operational atomic bomb when it performed a test drop of a down-rated Blue Danube weapon on Maralinga, South Australia, on 11 October 1956.
