The Victor was surely one of the most striking aircraft to emerge from Britain's aviation industry and her elegant lines are seen to advantage here. The 214 Sqdn insignia can be seen on the tail. D/d 1.12.58, appeared at Farnborough 1959, scrapped St. Athan 1978

The recce version of the Victor was said to be good for altitudes approaching 70,000 feet. From 1965 nine were converted from B.2s with cameras and powerful photoflash gear in the bomb bay and were sometimes referred to as B(SR).2s. Note the large drag-reducing fairings known as Whitecombe Pods or Krucheman Carrots on the wings, which doubled up as useful space for defensive ECM equipment. Served with 543 Sqdn till 1974 when three were again converted (to K.2); this one was scrapped at St Athan 12.91

This Victor, delivered to the RAF on 4.2.58, was the last surviving B.1, retired to Cosford as an instructional airframe but sadly suffered the same fate as Vulcan XA900 there, being scrapped two years after this shot

Seen here with 55 Sqdn, seven years later this Victor was to play a crucial role with 57 Sqdn in the first 'Black Buck' raid on the Falklands by Vulcan XM607, under the command of Sqdn Ldr Bob 'Tux' Tuxford who gained the AFC for his heroics. Full story in the very excellent book 'Vulcan 607'

The first Victor production aircraft flew on 1.2.56 - at this time, the only UK-based aircraft with sufficient performance to intercept it at height were the F-101 Voodoos of the USAF's 81st TFW. This early example was delivered to the RAF on 29.11.57 and is seen here hoping for preservation in its original white colours (but note camo outboard wing panels). It was, however, sold as scrap just seven months later

Displaying the marks of 232OCU but probably already flying for 55 Sqdn by this time, this Victor came to grief when it crashed in appalling weather on approach to Hamilton, Ontario, during an airshow on 19.6.86. Stripped out nose was retained by the CWH then moved to a private owner in Ohio
