Classic Aircraft | October 2012
Celebrating 60 years since the triumvirate of ‘V-bombers’ was completed by the maiden flights of the Victor and Vulcan, we pay tribute to the RAF’s ‘V-Force’ with a 38-page special section featuring the Valiant’s role in the Suez Crisis, memories of holding Cold War nuclear alert, No 543 Squadron’s recce Valiants, the end of the ‘V-Force’s’ nuclear deterrent, first-hand Vulcan and Victor pilot accounts of the first Falklands ‘Black Buck’ raid, and a list of ‘V-bomber’ survivors; also inside, we pay tribute to the Boeing 737, gain first-hand insights into NATO tactical reconnaissance operations during the Cold War, and tell the story of Air Charter, Freddie Laker’s first airline.
