XL161 started it's life as a B.2 in 1961 and was used for the Blue Steel missile trials in Australia. During the trials it went into a supersonic stall, the missile had to be jettisoned and the pilot deployed the braking parachute which allowed him to regain control. Converted to B(SR)2 in March 1966 and taken on charge by 543 Squadron at Wyton. Converted to K.2 standard in 1974, later allocated maintenance serial 9214M and scrapped in 1996.

It was fairly unusual to see a flying display by a Victor but this aircraft was about to take-off for one at a Woodford Airshow. They were converted to K M2 (tankers) at this airfield and, though I can't remember, I guess that this was one such aircraft prior to its return to the Air Force.

Sadly, this Victor was lost one year after this picture was taken, on 19 June 1986. It crashed on approach to Hamilton airport, Canada after the crew had misidentified the runway. It landed 300 feet short of the runway.

This aircraft had been converted to a K Mk 2 tanker. This was my place of work where I should not have taken photographs but somehow I managed this one, probably shortly before I stopped working there. The original slide has faded really badly.

Constructed as a B.2 in 1963, this Victor was converted to a K.2 in 1974. Based at RAF Ascension (Wideawake Island) at the beginning of the Falklands war the tanker also flew sorties out of Bahrain during operation Desert Storm of the Gulf War in 1990. Retired in 1993, the nose section was preserved when it was scrapped. Stored for a while, the nose was transferred to the RAF Museum in Hendon in 1997 and put on display.
