apologies if this has been repeated eleswhere.

Just to clarify, this is the V-Force Reunion, which is of course open to all who were on the V Force, either as aircrew or groundcrew, on Valiants, Victors and Vulcans. Full details on the link.
In the past the Valiant contingent has been very well represented, especially considering the great age of some of them

The most comfortable place that was ever used to locate any radio equipment was down there.
You laid on your back on a nice soft 'bed' to work on the 2 VHF Tx/Rx.
Different to 'organ lofts' and other obscure places where it was usually stashed.

I illegally occupied the bomb aimer's position in the nose of a Varsity for a landing
When the V Force reunion website put a Valiant Mk1 on their website I will be interested, but not until then.

In my defence, re the Vickers Valetta, we did carry bombs (as freight) from Fayid to Nairobi for the Avro Lincolns to use as Mau-Mau pacifiers. There was the occasional hitch, of course.
