The Valiant was the first RAF V-bomber to enter service.
The most conventional of the three designs, it was also the first to drop bombs on Egyptian airfields during the Suez Campaign.
It was also the first RAF aircraft to drop a hydrogen bomb during Operation Grapple tests in 1957. However, its career was cut short by serious problems with its rear spar, leading to fatal accidents and subsequent fleet retirement.
