Victor K2 Gulf War veteran - a photo on Flickriver

            Fairford, 6 July 1991.

'Sweet Sue' was in the static show at the Royal International Air Tattoo in July 1991. She returned from the Gulf War with 41 mission markings. Victors were aerial petrol stations that tanked the British fighters and bombers. A remarkable design, fitting for a sci-fi movie.

XH671 was badly damaged some years later during static cabin pressure tests at Marham. As the retirement of the type was imminent, the plane was not repaired. She was scrapped.
