Very nice job indeed, this plane was a major fixture in British aeronautics engineering. Thanks James

What I find amazing, apart from it's 21st century looks is that it was was a replacement for the Lancaster !!! This beast first few 71 years ago !!!! We had some spectacular talent back in this days.

The Handley Paige to me is oddly among the best looking airplane. Something in its "straight out of flash gordon movie" look makes it awesome!

I always favoured the Victor to the Vulcan, it had more capability.

Oh just bloody wonderful, what an aircraft. My first RAF tour was the tower at RAF Marham, Jan 80 - April 82, and watching these magnificent beasts take off and land and pound the circuit was great. I even had a four or so hour flight in one, it should have been a domestic tow line but the Ruskies were having a play day and QRA and Tansor were both up. In fact Tansor 2 was up and we were re-designated Tansor Mobile and went north, got as far as the Faeroe Islands before being turned back. The only other aircraft I saw was the F4 chick we took with us! Fantastic experience.

szrsingle I was an airman in the tower and didn’t know any of the aircrew. I only ever saw the names of the pilots on the daily flying programme.

Great video!! What an impressive surrealistic looking jet! Great Britain was realy an number 1 Airlinerbuilder. A strong nation. Thank you!!!

Thank you Knight, neat and clear answer, you must be a pilot.

some of the cold war jets are so much better looking that new stuff. the victor, Vulcan and nimrod are just beautiful designs

Thunderbirds are Go. What a wonderful piece of art and architecture.

This plane is amazing thanks guys for sharing your beautiful passion for fliyng from Carlos Portugal

Ein herrliches Flugzeug. Toll, dass die Maschine so gut in Schuß gehalten wird. Nur schade, dass es nicht mehr fliegen darf.....

The VICTOR K2 and the NIMROD were my favorites...💯💯💯🌹🌹🙏🙏👏👏

ALWAYS a TOTAL delight to see the Victor actually MOVING!!!! A B E A U T I F U L machine from a wonderful era!

I agree!

I lived near the Handley Page factory at Park Street in the '50s and remember the Victor prototype going up vertically (or so it seemed) on test flights. All the house windows would rattle, couldn't hear the wireless indoors. Then, as it reached its required altitude, we all thought we'd gone deaf, as it suddenly became totally silent! A beautiful plane in flight, I'm just glad I don't have to buy a set of tyres for it - 20 in all!

Worked on these years ago. The RR Conway engines are so powerful. Same engine as used on Boeing 707, DC8 and VC10. They did some impressive takeoffs when not full of fuel, particularly when we had visitors from the USAF with their B52.

Very impressive airplane, has a bit of a Russian look about it, aside from the pointed nose. Did anyone notice the Victor Meldrew reference by the way? Up by the cockpit, right hand side, it says "Meldrew", as in grumpy old Victor Meldrew. As he would say, "I don't believe it"!
