HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR TRIBUTE

[rumpali1]

Superbly crafted video, thanks. It's amazing how futuristic this aircraft looks, even in 2012!

[ToonandBBfan]

Fantastic airplane

[ian8354]

Can you imagine one of these Victors being sent back in time and landing on a RAF Bomber Base full of Avro Lancasters ! The Base would have vacated itself very quickly by the sheer 'fear factor' of this Bomber...lol

[DaBoligBurls]

Great video of one of my favourite aircraft. Even today the HP Victor still has something futuristic about it (until you watch the cockpit videos of Lusty Lindy!).

[ssssroryssss]

I bet the Victor Pilots back in the 50s/60s made sure they always touched down softly while carrying the nuclear bomb under their butts!

[Aenigmaa]

Coolest aircraft this side of the universe.

[thatman64]

Brilliant footage, buddy. Without a doubt THE sexiest plane ever to grace the RAF. I can only dream of working on/with an interesting aircraft type in the RAF now. Being born in 1991, I believe I was born 40 years too late. What used to be the Royal Air Force is now nearer to 'Royal Air Should-be-force-but-actually-j­ust-a-smouldering-crater-of-br­oken-dreams-careers-and-global­-influence' or 'RASFAJSCBDC'. Rant mode off, merry cynical Christmas.

впечатляет

[TheBerry1510]

See that one dislike? That is from a USAF pilot...

[joluqa]

@TheBerry1510 Are you sure it was a USAF pilot. well i still could not understand why they could do such thing.

[TheBerry1510]

@joluqa He never got to fly this plane :)

[rccentury]

@joluqa the victor ran out of Flying life :(

[texasraider76]

fantastic



[MaxWaveGun360]

this bomber looks epic

[MCCXK120]

Excellent video tribute to a great British aeroplane; Thank you.

[joluqa]

@MCCXK120 Thanks for your comment mate.

[routan1]

I always thought that they were a very pretty airplane. From certain angles they looked like a sci-fi movie prop sitting on the ramp. I got to crawl around on the K.2s a bit when I worked the flight line at Offutt AFB, NE back in the eighties. They'd visit several times a year. We got on well with the air crews, they were good folks and true professionals. I have a lot of respect for the RAF.

[Machru]

joluqa: Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!!

[WALTERBROADDUS]

Just one look at this thing & you can tell this is a plane only the Brits could love. Sad, that the legacy of RAF bomber Command is all a memory.

[FlintIronstag2008]

@WALTERBROADDUS  Sorry, but you're just a bit wrong on this. The Victor was a bird that was so ugly it's beautiful.

An automotive equivalent would be the Gumpert.

[gustavoarios]

One of the most beautiful flying objects ever built by mankind, amen!

[dongaiser]

You know I've never heard of this airplane and some think she is an ugly beast... I think she is beautiful!

[TheTomyossarian]

A truly evil looking aircraft. My favorite English aeroplane.

[Hollenvaen]

Thanks. Manage to find the video now. Will be putting it onto DVD to watch first time :)

[Hollenvaen]

where did you get the footage? x

[TheArmchairSoldier]

Amazing series of aircraft. Shame we don't have them anymore.

[joluqa]

@TheArmchairSoldier These are the great British planes mate.

[oiseautempete]

A incredible looking aircraft!

[Peatman]

1:34 Is that a U-2 landing in the background??

[zero00tolerance]

Back in the days when Nato were inventive and good (guy)..

[jed371]

the russians were shit scared of the v bombers

[mr9396]

Beautiful plane

[joshomezza]

do se this aircraft still fly

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@joshomezza

No, it was retired from service in 1993, as the last one of the V Bombers. Maybe a few still fly in shows or so, that's possible.

[eatthisvr6]

if batman had a bomber ;)

[gnark1ll1us]

Superb forward view in these isnt there? For such a large plane.

Haha, I wonder if when teh victors arrived in Saudi, the Arabs were like 'Allah Akbar, sell us some of those planes, they are so mean looking'

We were like 'sry they are half a century old and about to be chopped up for dog food tins'

[shackvan]

@gnark1ll1us I remember friends of mine on the same deployment telling me the yanks thought it was some kind of brand new stealth bomber ! it had the looks for sure

[shockbh]

fiquei sabendo que seu último vôo foi em maio de 2009, por ele foi aposentado, ele era muito velho?

[superality]

Wow, more like this please. Wonderful images, music and editing were superb.

[TSR1989FF]

Another impressive Video, my thanks again for uploading this.

Victor & Vulcan, Both incredible Aircraft & both greatly Missed.

(Although Vulcan XH558 is still flying & recently of course a Victor made clear she still wanted to fly as well ;)

[kcahsoidar]

Thanks for the info GenX !!!

[piebstrains1]

Great tribute! Thanks for sharing.

[humlebi50]

Notice U-2 landing at 1:32

[GenXCypher]

@kcahsoidar Hey mate, those are Air scoops for the RAM air turbines the victor has, to provide backup power in case of an engine-out mid flight

[fsxUSnavy]

fear factor:10

[tanksngunsify]

really good tribute if only i was a billionaire......

[Youngwessex]

Thanks - Marham ?

[garyswest]

Thats one dodgy video (quality) sadly

[robpeter1]

at last decent footage of the victor but why the music i want to hear the engines alone thanks though cheers

[kroberts9884]

Wow! Watch for the U2 landing in the background at the 1:30 mark! Alconbury?

Nice Vid!!

[P8290970]

@kroberts9884 Definitely RAF Marham, U2 TR-1's were frequent visitors in the late 80s and early 90s.

[LC878]

I love the Noseart on british Aircrafts during Desert-Storm....remember the Tornado´s with the Shark-mouth like the "Migeater"....just great...;)

[bryanoverturf1]
