EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the mighty Handley Page Victor B.1A XH593 of the Royal Air Force, captured in 1962. The Victor, a versatile and iconic British aircraft, was a four-engine turboprop strategic transport and tanker, designed and manufactured by Handley Page Aircraft Company. XH593, with its distinctive wing design and powerful engines, was a key asset to the RAF's strategic transport fleet. Its spacious interior could accommodate up to 112 passengers or 68 stretcher cases, making it an essential component of the RAF's air transport capabilities. The year 1962 marked an important period in the history of the Handley Page Victor. It was during this time that the aircraft began to see extensive operational use, including airlifting troops and supplies to various locations around the world. The Victor's versatility and reliability proved invaluable during this era, as it was also used for refueling other aircraft in mid-air, extending their operational reach. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the majesty and power of the Handley Page Victor B.1A XH593 as it proudly served in the Royal Air Force. The image is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the pivotal role that the Victor played in shaping the future of military transport and aerial refueling.
