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.

Sorry, I can't help with the photo you requested, but thanks for posting such a good photo of the Valiant & Lightning!
:D

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

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
