EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Handley Page Victor prototype, registration VX770, taxis on the runway of Radlett Airfield on 10 July 1953. The Victor was a four-engine, long-range strategic bomber developed by Handley Page Aircraft Company in response to a Royal Air Force (RAF) requirement for a successor to the Vickers Valiant and Avro Vulcan. The prototype, powered by four Rolls-Royce Avon RA.7 engines, made its first flight on 27 May 1952, and this photograph captures it in its early stages of flight testing. The Victor was a significant advancement in aviation technology for its time, featuring a swept-wing design, variable geometry wings, and a pressurized cabin. Its impressive range and payload capacity made it an effective platform for various missions, including strategic bombing, maritime patrol, and airborne early warning. The Victor entered RAF service in 1958 and saw active duty during the Cold War, with the last aircraft being retired in 2003. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking design and innovation of the Handley Page Victor prototype and the important role it played in the postwar history of the RAF. The image also serves as a reminder of the pivotal period in aviation history when new technologies and designs were pushing the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft design. Charles E Brown captured this photograph for the RAF Museum, preserving a valuable piece of aviation history for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Victor's legacy continues to inspire and influence the development of modern military and civilian aircraft, making it a significant and enduring part of aviation history.
