The Handley Page Victor was one of the three 'V' bombers that formed the UK's strategic nuclear strike force in the 1950s and 60s, the other two being the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. The Handley Page Victor later evolved into the K.2 air tanker used for refuelling other aircraft in mid-air to extend their operational range.
These photographs were taken at the Air Display at the Yorkshire Air Museum at RAF Elvington on a damp and overcast day in July 2010 where the museum's Handley Page Victor K.2 performed taxiing runs up and down the runway during the course of the day.
