 | RAF Marham was the last home of the Victor force, and when they sadly left service in 1993 one was earmarked for preservation at the station. XH673 now graces the area outside the SHQ, so you need to be inside the station to get a picture (or high above it!). She was repainted in 1999 and has the cockpit glass covered with black panels to protect the cockpit interior - the perspex was apparentl... | | 09/19/2007 | 273 |

 | Moving up to Cosford we find XH672, a K.2 and an Operation Granby veteran. XH672 was initially ordered as a B.1 but produced as a B.2 in the first batch of them, converted to SR.2 (the fifth such conversion), she was later the final K.2 conversion. Served with 543, 57 and 55 squadrons. Maid Marian is her moniker and she carries artwork and mission markings on her port nose. She has spent 12 yea... | | 09/19/2007 | 196 |

 | Now here's a rather luckier Victor! XL231, above, is owned by businessman Andre Tempest and is pampered by Roger Brooks and his crew at Elvington. XL231 carries out occasional taxi runs at special events when they have enough money for fuel (so if you visit, chuck a few quid in the appropriate bucket, eh!). She wears her Granby nose art with pride and goes under the name of 'Lusty Lindy'. More ... | | 09/19/2007 | 192 |

 | This plane was originally placed at Highway 3 outside Aarhus as roadsign for a nearby company. But the County complained so it had to go. But the owner was lucky for what it gave. Commercial.
He had bought it on an auction a few month earlier from a young man who won it as first price in a TV show. But he didn't know what to do with itso he was suggested to sell it on auction whi... | | 08/02/2009 | 113 |

 | Starting off with a Mk. 1 Victor, we have XH648 at Duxford. One obvious difference between this Victor and all the other preserved examples is the colour scheme and the lack of the large fairings on the wings (these being on Mk. 2s only). It's also lacking the big fuel tanks fitted to many Mk. 2 examples. XH648 was in the fourth batch of B.1s produced (later converted to B.1A then K.1A), served... | | 09/19/2007 | 174 |

 | This is XM715; another one not just parked out in the rain as a dead static exhibit, no! She's a living, breathing example of the Victor, and regularly performs engine runs, and fast taxi runs on open days at Bruntingthorpe. XM715 was produced in the fourth B.2 batch and served with 139 and 100 squadrons, 232 OCU, 543 squadron, 232 OCU again and was converted to K.2 standard (ninth such convers... | | 09/19/2007 | 190 |
