The History

The 4th bomber for the Royal Air Force's V force or Bomber Command. The previous three models of strategic bomber, known collectively as the V class, were the Vickers Valiant, which first flew in 1951 and entered service in 1955; the Avro Vulcan, which first flew in 1952 and entered service in 1956; and the Handley Page Victor, which first flew in 1952 and entered service in 1957. - and this is the 4th one... from Win's Wings-Vickers that entered into service in 1959.

Era and concept: Late 1950s / early 1960s

.

The Design

Vickers Venom II is a six-engined early flying wing design that was more advanced than the American B-49 flying wing at the time when it enters into service in 1959 with the Royal Air Force. Its main objective was for the Nuclear strike role in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was Painted with anti-flash white (to protect from the powerful flash while an atomic bomb explosion) and RAF roundels with low visibility markings.

This version is a later model which was modified into a conventional carpet-bombing role and enhanced with cruse-missiles for air-to-surface attacks.

Carpet Bombing

As a bomber, its objective is to deliver nuclear or conventional weapons into the heart of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Later the Nuclear strike role was changed to the conventional bombing mission. Which is capable of carpet bombing (hit AG-4) - which has 20 conventional bombs.

And also armed with 4 powerful Air to ground/anti-shipping missiles.

Self Defense

During intruding enemy territory, this bomber is armed with 4 Air-to-air missiles as self-defense against enemy fighters. There is a tail gun with 2x20mm cannons.

Weapons:

  • Carpet bombing with 20x conventional bombs (AG4)
  • 4 Cruse missiles
  • 4 Air to Air missiles for self-defense
  • 2 tail guns for self-defense
  • Countermeasures
Drag Parachute (AG1)
Carpet bombing (AG4)

Top speed: 650 mph

Keep Calm and Play the Game!
GOD SAVE THE KING.....
