The nose section is all that is left of this Falklands War veteran. Entering service with the RAF in 1961 as a bomber serving with 100 Sqd, it was converted to tanker in 1970 and served with 55 Sqd. When with 57 Sqd it supported both Black Buck and Sea Harrier operations in the South Atlantic. Struck off charge in 1986, the nose was salvaged by the Victor Association in 1994 and displayed at the museum.

Converted from a bomber to an aerial refueling tanker, the H.P. Victor proved itself more than once, firstly in the Falklands War, then in the Gulf War. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, No. 55 Squadron, RAF began deploying from Marham, Norfolk, to Muharraq, Bahrain, with eight aircraft in January 1991. The 'Lusty Linda' pin-up nose art is still visible in this picture. Nowadays this Victor is preserved at the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington in taxyable condition.

On display at RAFM Cosford. This aircraft did test work with RR Conway engines, which were physically larger than the proposed Sapphire engines, after which it was used for autopilot trials. It was the last of the B.2 Victors to be converted to K.2 standard, going to No. 57 Sqn at RAF Marham. It took part in Ops Black Buck and as "Maid Marian" in the Gulf War with No. 55 Sqn, providing refuelling support for Tornados, Buccaneers, Jaguars and other Coalition aircraft. The ram air inlet for flight controls is positioned under the pitot tube and nostril air intakes are for air-conditioning.
