EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Handley Page Victor B.1A XH592 of the Royal Air Force (RAF), stationed at No.2 Squadron based at RAF Cosford around 1990. The Handley Page Victor, a British long-range strategic bomber and transport aircraft, served the RAF with distinction for over three decades. The image showcases the sleek and imposing design of the Victor, with its distinctive wing shape and four Rolls-Royce Conway turboprop engines. The aircraft's matte grey paint scheme and the red, white, and blue roundels and markings of the RAF add to its military presence. At the time of this photograph, the Handley Page Victor B.1A had been in service for several years and had undergone numerous upgrades and modifications. It was primarily used for transporting personnel and cargo, as well as for aerial refueling and electronic intelligence gathering missions. The setting of RAF Cosford, with its lush greenery and blue skies, provides a picturesque backdrop to this iconic aircraft. The image evokes a sense of history and nostalgia, reminding us of the important role the Handley Page Victor played in the RAF's aviation history. The Tony Lovelock Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a renowned archive of aviation imagery. Lovelock's passion for aviation is evident in the meticulous detail and composition of his photographs, making this image a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff.
