Handley Page Victor looks similar to the Russian ekranoplane. Totally a magnificant airplane.

Handley-Page Victor.....One of the meanest looking aircraft ever made.

@mongorians22 ...ROFLMFAO!!!...damn that made me laugh!!...

0:58 what are rocket-missiles? I suppose its what they carried along with their bomb-explosives and gun-shooters?
-
Great video! With the Hughes H-1 a close second, the HPV is (in my humble opinion) the most beautiful aircraft ever built. In those days the British made the best aircraft. What happened?
-
I agree, very contemporary in some respects. You sure the pilot wasn't Hughes? Sounds like a familiar stunt ;-)

British jet bombers are cool

@edj66 you need to study history a little harder if you think the Cold War wasn't a war. People were getting killed everyday...I know, I was there.

@NickB1967 I do see, and appreciate that point of view. However, I ask you this: If someone was going to nuke us, would you really want to be part of a country that would nuke somewhere else? I think that I would rather be part of a country that wouldn't use nuclear weapons at all, no matter what situation. M.A.D is simply mad.
The Victor is a GORGEOUS looking aircraft!!!
One actually flew, just a few weeks ago, by mistake!
During a fast taxi run a communication misunderstanding between the Captain and First Officer meant the latter didn't kill the throttles when he should, and the thing got airborne. Only a few hundred yards but, 3rd May 2009. The last ever flight of a Victor?
Damn shame we can't have one back in the air again alongside the Vulcan!!!!
