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

The British sure had a knack for building the ugliest things. Perhaps even more so than the Russians. That's saying something.
Sorry Ian!

Just saying what everyone will be thinking

Looks like something from science fiction or Thunderbirds

By compare to many Alister you are very right , as a bomber i looks the type but if ya see some of the crazy ideas tried from every nation .. this is gorgeous by compare .

Thunderbirds , mm yeah sad to see the passing of Gerry Anderson last night .. easy to see were he got his ideas from .

Al .... "ugliest things. Perhaps even more so than the Russians" ...... what are you saying .....

Great shots Ian , i keep going back too those old Alpha models, but they are so hard to screen now with all the hirez type scenery about.
You have done well

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

If the sands of time pass and only the fanatics remember it, it's failed on the 'thing of beauty' scale

having said that... the fanatics are the reason I am happy to be a member of NZFF
