Aircraft & Exhibits, 1969-MAR 1998, Cosford, Hangar Four, X001-2112

WE177 was a family of tactical air-dropped nuclear weapons carried by the RAF and Royal Navy, it was introduced into service in 1966 and retired in 1998, when the RAF became a non-nuclear force. Developed in the 1960s the WE177 family of nuclear bombs was Britain's last air dropped, free fall, nuclear weapon. It could be carried by a large variety of aircraft, including the Buccaneer, Jaguar and Tornado. Aircraft based in the UK and Germany had supplies of the weapons in the event of war breaking out in Western Europe. Security around these bombs was incredibly tight, armed guards protected the bomb and a 'no lone' zones being in operation, meaning that no one should be allowed by a bomb on their own.
