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'

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

First flew as a Victor B.2 on 31st December 62. Converted to K.2 tanker in 1975 and served with 55 Squadron, which marks it still wears. Flew into Bruntingthorpe 19th November 1993. Seen taxying under power at Cold War Jets Day.

Taken at my then place of work where photography was prohibited! A number of these Victors were in open storage at Radlett in Hertfordshire for many years but with the demise of Handley Page they were flown to Woodford where this aircraft awaits conversion to a K.Mk 2 tanker.

This was the K.2 tanker that followed Vulcan XM607 on both the trip to Ascencion and on the first Black Buck mission to bomb Port Stanley airport in 1982. Given ground instructional serial 9024M and broken up at Marham 2.96. Behind are fellow 57 Sqdn Victors XH671 (w/o 3.93 and b/u Marham) and XL162 (b/u Manston 1999)
