    It was one of Britain's so called V (for Victory) Force bombers that carried our nuclear deterrent during the cold war. There were three aircraft types that made up the V Force: the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_Victor"]Victor[/URL], the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Valiant"]Valiant[/URL] and my favourite, the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan"]Vulcan[/URL].
