XD826 was scrapped in the mid-1960s but its nose section was kept by the RAF and used for a period as a Navigation and Bomb-aiming System procedures trainer. It then passed through a number of hands over the years before eventually being gifted to the IWM, arriving at Duxford on 9 December 2022. It will eventually be restored for proper display.

A photo from my Dad's collection when he was flying Gloster Javelin's with 64 Squadron. Dated 11 Oct 1963 I am not sure if he was flying one of these aircraft. What we have is a refueling sortie probably over the North Sea. The tanker is a Vickers Valiant BK1 XD820 of 90 Squadron based at RAF Honington in Suffolk. Being refuelled are 3 Gloster Javelin FAW9's of 64 Squadron based at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. They are XH709 / K, XH708 / P and an aircraft coded G.

Just one complete Valiant bomber exists today, whilst a handful of cockpit sections have survived the years. This is the flight control panel of one of those cockpit sections, now located at the Highland Aviation Museum on the airport perimeter.

Only complete Valiant out of 107 built that survives at RAF Museum Cosford, which also has on display a Victor and a Vulcan. This triad of V-bombers formed Britain's airborne nuclear deterrent. A Valiant test dropped Britain's first A-bomb in 1956. XD818 from No. 49 Sqn. dropped Britain's first live H-bomb in 1957 during Op. Grapple. It was converted to a tanker in 1961. By Dec. 1964, all Valiants were grounded due to metal fatigue and withdrawn in 1965.
