Afternoon All,

One or possibly two Victors carried some of the kit left over from when they were SR.2s IIRC? 😮

The recce sorties flown by the Victors were just MRR sorties just using the old NBS (H2S Mk 9 of the top of my head) radar for surface vessel search around South Georgia.

Three sorties flown.
