these planes look like kid's toys

I can assure you, they are not kids toys. These were the UK's finest aircraft in the 1960's & possibly the early 70's.
They may, however be "big-boys toys" now ;)

Has anybody found our other "V-Bomber" the victor?

here you go, one at Duxford

[greypound]

There is a Victor at Duxford, XH648, which I flew in 1973 at RAF Marham.
It was originally a B1A but by that time had been convertred to a K2P ( a two point tanker).
More details at http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/victor/survivorspics1.html

[slug666]

Thanks, but surely there are more out there.

[Highlander739]

Thanks, but surely there are more out there.


There are, and when the RAF Museum at RAF Cosford gets put into hi-res then we'll see more. Also, RAF Marham has one and so does RAF Bruntingthorpe, but again they are not in hi-res. A private individual from Elvington in Yorkshire also has a Victor but not in hi-res either.

Oh, and the last surviving Valiant is also at RAF Cosford as well so when that gets lit up you'll have some fun

[RickiusMaximus]

There was a vulcan bomber on sale on ebay, it went for £15,000

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/08/landolord_buys_vulcan/

Its at-

The Snipe Inn
Dukinfield, Cheshire

[Monkey boy]

It never made it to the pub, it apparently would have cost more money to transport it than it cost to buy.

Anyway, XL391 has now been scrapped, for about £4K.

I hope the photo has uploaded OK

[Mpenza]

I've found 2 more!
How many out of the 21 remaining Vulcan have we found so far? :P

[McMaster_de]

I had found them earlier :lol:

We have now found 8 of them in high-res areas.

[emdee]

There's another vulcan here, under the hangar, being restored to become the world's only flying vulcan (XH558)...

[bwh2005]

the google people must have wanted you to see that place because all around it it is low def and thats the only high def around for a while

[Mark A]

There is also one here at Wellsbourne airfield. Resolution isn't good enough to see it though.

[vodkamartini1]

There is one by the Nissan car plant in Sunderland - has that been uploaded? (I think it might have been vandalised a few years back too??)

[mclacr]

A previous post said the one at Sunderland was not at an airport.
http://www.neam.co.uk/history.html gives the answer.

I saw a flight of Vulcans over my school in N.London in about 1967. Absoutely bloody petrifying!
