Saw one of these at the Dayton Airshow around 1990. I like the shape and cockpit glass.

Ok interesting question here - if you had $14m or spent it all - which of the V bombers would be most deserving to get a restore to flight?
Valiant?
Victor?
Vulcan?
I feel the Valiant just doesnt cut it ... the Victor and Vulcan tho look and need to fly.
The Victor if im right is more powerful and better than the Vulcan if thrown around in flight?

They all had their strengths and weaknesses. Don't under-rate the Valiant. It was superior to the B-47 in virtually every respect. The stratojet had the advantage of looking fast even when parked up!
Picking between the Vulcan and Victor is hard. They were in their true element when high and fast.

You left out another 'V'.., well a US V.., but still a V
