这 汉德利页面维克多 是英国喷气动力战略轰炸机,由汉德利佩奇飞机公司开发和生产,在冷战期间服役。这是皇家空军(RAF)运营的第三架也是最后一架V型轰炸机,另外两架V轰炸机是阿夫罗火神和维克斯瓦利安特。维克多号被发展为联合王国空中核威慑力量的一部分。1968年,在发现疲劳裂缝后,该型导弹退出了核任务,而英国皇家空军采用低空飞行概况以避免拦截,使情况更加恶化。

The Handley Page Victor was a British jet-powered strategic bomber, developed and produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company and served during the Cold War. It was the third and final of the V-bombers operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF); the other two V-bombers being the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. The Victor had a distinctive crescent-shaped wing that enabled it to fly at high altitudes and speeds, making it less vulnerable to interception. The Victor was initially designed to carry a single nuclear bomb, but later variants were equipped with conventional bombs, cruise missiles, or aerial refueling pods.
The Victor entered service in 1958 and was retired from the nuclear deterrent role in 1968, following the discovery of fatigue cracks in the airframe. Some Victors were converted into strategic reconnaissance aircraft, using a combination of radar, cameras, and other sensors to gather intelligence. Others were modified into tankers to provide aerial refueling for other aircraft, such as the Vulcan bombers that participated in the Falklands War. The Victor was the last of the V-bombers to be retired from service, in 1993. It was replaced by the Vickers VC10 and the Lockheed Tristar as tankers, and by various other aircraft as bombers and reconnaissance platforms.
