Handley Page Victor
The Handley Page Victor was a British jet bomber aircraft produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company. It was the third and final of the "V bombers" which provided Britain's nuclear deterrent. The other two V-bombers were the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. In many ways the Victor was the most advanced of the trio. It brought powerful new capabilities to the job of strategic bombing. After the Cold War, the Victor served as a tanker.
