Description

The Handley Page Victor was a British jet bomber aircraft produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company during the Cold War. It was the third and final of the V-bombers that provided Britain's nuclear deterrent. The other two V-bombers were the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. Some aircraft were modified for strategic reconnaissance role using both cameras and radar. After the Royal Navy assumed the nuclear deterrence mission using submarine-launched Polaris missiles in 1969 many surviving bombers were converted into aerial refuelling tankers. The last Victor was retired from service on 15 October 1993.(Wikipedia)

When I was a child my dad was stationed at US Navy London. I remember seeing one of these fly at an airshow and I still remember how strange and beautiful I thought it was. After they landed and the aircrew climbed out, they invited the spectators to come over and talk to them. They seemed like supermen to me with their space age airplane. I got to touch the plane and the smell of the jet fuel and rubber still hang with me as a wonderful memory.
