ok, a weird request, but you never know.
ANY EX VALIANT ARMOURERS ON HERE ?
question !
were bombs loaded on the x3 or x5 carriers, or were the carriers loaded first, then bombs added ?
it may also apply to ex Vulcan armourers as well, or Victor armourers.
if bombs AND carriers loaded together, were they carried on the bomb trolleys as loaded carriers ?

many thanks.
i was at Waddington in 1970-1971, and actually guarded, with my furry mate, XH558 plus others.
remember the TACEVAL scrambles, not so much hear them as feel them
nothing can equate a Vulcan 4 x aircraft QRA scramble, nor ever will.
also, somewhere on the bomb bay of XH558, is a placque with the late SWMBO and my names, who could ask for more
my question answered, Vulcan 4 + 3 carrier loaded as a unit, so I assume the Valiant 3 + 2 would be loaded the same.
again, many thanks for the link.

Are you modeling a diorama?
Would love to see it.
