Treble one ; Its my understanding that V bombers never flew with live weapons (apart from on weapon tests of course). Or in Thunderball.
In fact, its possible that the only time they were ever loaded with live weapons was during the Cuban crisis..... but that it an assumption not a fact.


a/c were regularly loaded up on exercises then downloaded before flight. The load team you never knew if it was a live or training weapon till you took the cover off.
