NOSE GEAR

  1. Standing to the starboard side of XH648's nose, looking back towards the nose gear and doors.
  2. Now standing on the port side. The Victor has very little ground clearance under the bulbous nose section!
  3. Now XH672's nose gear bay, viewed from the aft end of the bay. I like the 'no step' markings on the mud guards - as if it's easy to get in there with the afore-mentioned lack of ground clearance!

PORT MAIN GEAR

  1. K.1A XH648's port main gear, viewed from ahead, looking back.
  2. XH648's port main gear again, we've moved around to the side now to see the bulge in the gear door. General finish of the gear and bay is dull aluminium.
  3. K.2 XH672's port main gear bay, looking up and aft.
  4. XH672's port main gear, viewed from directly behind, looking forwards.
  5. K.2 XM715's port main gear, viewed from ahead, looking back towards guess-what-Vulcan :)

STARBOARD MAIN GEAR

  1. XH648's starboard main gear, viewed from the port main gear.
  2. XH672's starboard main gear and door, viewed from ahead, looking aft and outboard.
  3. XH672's starboard main gear bay, looking up, aft and outboard.
  4. XH672's starboard main gear, looking forward towards the nose gear. The diagonal object in the top left of the picture is the lowered flap.
  5. Similar view of XM715, with flaps up!
