Short historical description

The Handley Page Victor was one of three strategic bombers of the RAF, alongside the Vickers Valiant and Avro Vulcan, used by the United Kingdom during the Cold War. Developed in the post-war period, the Victor served both as a strategic bomber (most often associated with nuclear payloads) and later in a converted air-to-air refueling tanker version. The first examples entered service in 1957 and were intensively used until the late 1980s, including during the Falklands War.
