Vickers Valiant

Vickers-Armstrong Valiant adalah jet bomber Inggris empat mesin, pernah menjadi bagian dari bomber V nuklir Royal Air Force pada 1950-an dan 1960-an. Valiant adalah yang pertama dari pembom V menjadi operasional, dan diikuti oleh Handley Halaman Victor dan Vulcan Avro , namun itu terasa kurang maju daripada rekan-rekan.

Valiant secara resmi pensiun pada tahun 1965. Tugasnya dilanjutkan oleh pembom-V lainnya yang tetap dalam pelayanan sampai 1980-an.
