An all-white Victor flys by the crowd at this 1960s air display
As well as the picture of a Vulcan doing a very fast, and low, flyby, Hugh also sent over this great picture of a Handley Page Victor B.Mk1 v-bomber doing a low pass. The early Victors were a very sleek looking design, later examples would gain various bulges and gubbins as their roles changed over the years, the last of the Victors being used as air-to-air tankers before being withdrawn.
