EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Vickers Type 660 Valiant prototype, registration WB210, makes its impressive landing at the 1951 Farnborough Airshow in England. The Royal Air Force (RAF) jet-powered bomber, also known as the V bomber, was a strategic aircraft designed to carry nuclear weapons and was a significant addition to the UK's post-World War II military arsenal. The Valiant was a four-engined jet, which was a departure from the piston-engine bombers that were prevalent during the war. Its sleek design and advanced technology were a sight to behold, drawing a large crowd of media photographers eager to capture the moment. George Edwards, a renowned aviation photographer, was among those present to document the event. The Valiant's arrival at Farnborough marked a new era in aviation, as jet-powered bombers began to replace the piston-engine aircraft that had dominated the skies during the war. The Valiant was the first of the V bomber fleet, which also included the Vickers Vulcan and the Avro Vulcan and Victor. These aircraft were instrumental in the UK's strategic nuclear deterrence capabilities throughout the Cold War. The Farnborough Airshow, held annually since 1948, is an internationally renowned event that showcases the latest advancements in aviation technology. The 1951 show was particularly significant as it marked the beginning of the jet age in the UK's military aviation history. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, with the Vickers Type 660 Valiant prototype making its landing at the Farnborough Airshow in 1951, marking the arrival of the jet age in the UK's military aviation.
