Whoops!

I was having a Senior Moment when I called it a Valiant – of course I know it’s a Victor!!!

Sorry for that moment of lunacy!

The one in front is a Valiant, in back is a Victor:

All 3… Handley-Page Victor, Avro Vulcan, Vickers Valiant (left to right in the first shot):

And just for fun, the Shorts Sperrin:

That looks like XM716. That could be 55 Sqn’s logo on the fin. I took the attached picture of her in Aug.1964 when she was with 139 Sqn (I think) as my train rushed past Radlett – hence poor quality. The camouflaged one in this photo is XL163 of 100 Sqn.

Hi, Jeff. Nice photos. But not of a Valiant I’m afraid. It’s a Handley Page Victor.
