Handley Page Victor
Survivors
Unfortunately the Victor, despite staying in service longer, hasn't survived retirement as well
as the Vulcan, though it has at least done better than the Valiant!
Unlike the Vulcan, the Victor never really captured the public's hearts, due in part to its
tanker role in later years rendering it a much less exciting aircraft to many. Victor displays
were few and far between and they certainly didn't throw it around the sky like they did with
the Vulcan. Today only two Victors remain in running condition, XM715 at Bruntingthorpe and
XL231 at Elvington. There are no efforts to get any Victor to fly again.
