I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Oberon, fin-fold was necessary on the Vulcan too.

Of the V-bombers, only the Vulcan with its delta wing and tall undercarriage was best suited for bombing up. The Valiant needed to be jacked up as did the Victor BS.

The Victor 2 would have made the better high level conventional bomber however. 35 bombs and a much better forward visibility for visual bombing.
