No. 543 Squadron
A total of 11 Valiant B(PR) Mk.1 reconnaisance variants were produced. These could carry up to eight cameras in the bomb bay instead of a bomb load. The first deliveries of these were to the newly formed 543 Squadron at RAF Wyton in June 1955. Once Valiant B.1 and Valiant B(PR).1 production finished, another variant was produced, the Valiant B(PR)K.1
In 1964 the entire Valiant fleet was retired.
No. 543 Squadron subsequently operated the Victor SR2 from January 1966 through May 1974, while based at RAF Wyton.
