SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
One of three jet bombers that formed the RAF's V-Force in the early years of the Cold War, the Victor was perhaps the most technologically advanced of the trio. Designed as the HP 80, the aircraft flew smoothly at altitude like a knife through butter. First flown on Christmas Eve 1952, the Victor entered service in B 1 configuration in November 1957. Further improvements were introduced with the B 2, which was optimised for high altitude performance with bigger Rolls-Royce Conway engines and more wing area. Most B 2s were equipped to carry the Blue Steel stand-off missile, but eight were modif.
