In the 1950s and ‘60s, the Royal Air Force’s V-Bomber fleet was the custodian of Britian’s nuclear deterrent. A trio of aircraft, the Vickers Valiant, Handley Page Victor and Avro Vulcan; all these bombers were tasked to deliver nuclear weapons of varying yields to targets in the Soviet Union (USSR).
