Remember that all the Vs were also operated differently from the role for which they were first designed. Two Vulcan crashes occurred at low level. The Victor tankers OTOH were operated in a more benign manner.
Think of the Nimrod too, around 46 or so were ordered and at least 5 crashed or were Cat 5 - ove 10%.
