EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1953 Farnborough Air Show, the Handley Page HP.80 Victor 1st prototype, registration WB771, is poised for take-off. The powerful four Rolls-Royce Avon RA.7 engines of the Victor roar to life, as the ground crew gives the final checks before departure. The sleek lines and imposing presence of the Victor, a V-bomber designed for long-range strategic bombing missions, are a sight to behold. In the right background of the image, several other notable aircraft are visible. The Short SB.5 WG768, a twin-engine flying boat, can be seen in the distance. The Short Seamew AS.1 XA209, a twin-engine amphibian, is also visible, its distinctive propellers spinning in the foreground. The Fairey Gannet AS.1 WN341, a maritime patrol aircraft, is parked nearby, its large wings and tail fin dominating the scene. Three Avro 707s, registration numbers unknown, can be seen in the background, adding to the impressive line-up of aircraft on display. The Handley Page HP.80 Victor, with its advanced design and impressive capabilities, was a significant addition to the British aviation industry. Its first flight took place on March 20, 1952, and it went on to serve with the Royal Air Force from 1958 until its retirement in 1993. This photograph captures a moment in history, as the Victor takes its place among the latest innovations in aviation technology at the 1953 Farnborough Air Show.
