I was a Valiant tanker pilot on a Victor Bomber station, RAF Honington, during the Cuban Crisis. I was on leave and my entire planning was disrupted by the objects of my attentions panicking about WW III and rushing off to Trafalgar Square and demonstrating against something or other. This was despite my protestations that I, as a mighty V Force pilot, had not been recalled from leave.
From my remembered conversations with fellow co-pilots in the bar the Victor did have a tendency to be able to land itself at very light weights. However, this was frowned upon for the same reason that all pilots were banned from doing 'greasers' in the early sixties. A very light touchdown on a wet runway would lead to the wheels not rotating and the tyre treads being scalded forming lumps that would shorten the tyres life.
Inadvertent supersonic flight by the Victor, especially the Mk 2, is fairly well known.
