Javelin AAR photo.

I am looking for a picture of Javelin refuelling from a Valiant tanker in the early sixties. I have a couple but what I am looking for is one like this Valiant/Lightning shot.



Any help would be appreciated.

Does it have to be a Victor?
Google has several versions of an image of a Valiant refueling a Javelin, and another with a Sea Vixen acting as tanker for a Javelin

Time you went to specsavers!

From the OP:

And your reply (my bold!) ....

Best you provide the links because it looks like you've solved the request by accident!

Priceless!

That'll be sarcasm straight over Wrathmonk's head, rebounds off the wall and back to the pitcher's glove! Love this place for that sort of thing / banter.

Wrathmonk..... something on the back of your heel!!!!

what happens when you speed-browse

the best one is here (mid way down the page)
http://www.214squadron.org.uk/histor...nt_years_m.htm

theres several iterations of this image on the web
Picture of "Mid-air photograph shows a Gloster Javelin FAW7 being refuelled by a Vickers Valiant B1 1196087 - Search Stock Photography, Photos, Prints, Images, and Photo Clipart - 1196087.jpg
but they're all either low-res or else carry waternarks

the images of the Sea Vixen tanker are at

Includes one of a Vixen refueling a Valiant.....!
