The failed V-bomber, the Valiant was withdrawn early following the discovery of a large number of stress cracks on the airframe.

There is only one whole Valiant left. This one is seen here in its white anti-flash colour scheme and a small 7 Sqdn badge on the crew door.

The museum's latest addition, which is awaiting re-assembly. They have everything that they need except a nosecone.

The museum would be grateful if anyone could help them source a nose cone for a Mk.1 Tornado.
