Full Size Victor gets air under its wheels

I herd some rummers yesterday

At Bruntingthorpe yesterday the Victor was sheduled to do a fast taxi for the cold war jets disply and in a strong cross-wind got abit light

For some reson the full size forums are under lockdown and no pics or reports alowed, which makes a accidend seem much more cinister with reports of flying at 100 odd foot.

Facts are 30-40 foot and a real heavy landing

Great to see the old girl up again

Tut tut, someone will get a right ticking off for that!

I like the Victor though, more than the Vulcan for some bizarre reason!

I love the quote from the pilot how awsome would that have been

At that point I thought we had had it - just to tent peg into the ground, and for a fraction of a second I considered going for full power, a climb and circuit.

At last some Vid's







As you can see it was a long way from the runway.

Dad you need to use the vidio tab when replying then enter the Http address not the embed code

Give me the links and i`ll edit
