Classic British Jets - Valiant DVD

| DVD

This totally unique DVD provides a detailed film history and profile of Britain's first nuclear V-Bomber - the Vickers Valiant. When the Cold War made a new generation of British heavy bombers with nuclear capability vital Vickers rose to the challenge and had the first Valiant flying by May 1951. In less than two years the company delivered 108 aircraft for RAF service and production continued until 1957. The black-painted 'Pathfinder' version (B Mk II) showed extraordinary promise for high speed ultra-low level attacks - but the seed for this capability was not... recognised until a decade later and it was sidelined. The Valiant was soon 'blooded' with conventional bombing raids during the 1956 Suez Crisis - flying ops from Malta and also played an integral role in the Australian A-Bomb tests in 1956 and dropped Britain's first H-Bomb in the Pacific the following year. Highlights on this exclusive film history include film of the first Valiants entering squadron service rare footage of the 'Black' variant identification film footage a close-up look at the bomb bay and bomb-loading procedures rocket-assisted take-offs using 'Super Sprite' boosters very detailed coverage of the Christmas Island tests QRA scrambles air-to-air refuelling and much more.
