Britain’s V Force

Stand beneath three of the most important British aircraft of the Cold War: the Vickers Valiant, Handley Page Victor and Avro Vulcan.

Together, these aircraft formed the RAF’s V Force. From the late 1950s until 1969, it provided Britain’s airborne nuclear deterrent, with aircraft and crews held at readiness in case of an attack.

Each V bomber approached the same demanding requirement differently. Their distinctive designs reflect a period of rapid technological development, political tension and changing military strategy.

RAF Museum Midlands is the only place where visitors can see examples of all three V-bomber types together.
