description=Handley Page H.P.80 later named the Victor was the last of the V-bombers to enter service with the Royal Air Force.\n It was designed to operate fast and high, above virtually all known defences, and technically highly advanced for its time.\n This larger version Victor Mark 2 was much heavier and more powerful, the engines being 17,000 lb Rolls-Royce Conway Mk 103 turbofans.\nChanges compared with the Mk 1 included greater span, larger air inlets, a dorsal fillet forward of the fin and a retractable scoop on each fuselage side to supply two turbo-alternators for the totally new electrical system.\n\nby Kazunori Ito\n Kazu16643VT@aol.com\n
