Your right Dean , the Victor really looked a nasty piece of work .. carry 35 1000 pounders compared to Vulcans 21 .. Just ole Sir Fred wanted to keep his own company away from the pollies so got em in the bad books .. those political dribble's .. look our today's examples rolleyes.gif

Hehe, have to agree to disagree on this one Al, I reckon the Victor is an awesome design, very aggressive, almost organic, or alien even

Sorry, can't help myself! If it hasn't seen serious time in a wind tunnel prior to it's first flight, I'm not interested hahaha
