Rato T/O in a Víctor. Never knew about that

They were DeHavilland Spectre DSpe.4 rockets and cancelled after a single trial take-off of a Victor from the de Havilland aerodrome at Hatfield.

It's hard to out-cool a Vulcan.

B58 Hustler says "Hold my beer".

 

[SaparotRob]

I didn't say impossible.

B58 [sic] Hustler says "Hold my beer".

Close but no cigar. The B-58 was an impressive beast but those sticky-out engines will always lose out to the awesome, cohesive lines of the Vulcan. I doubt it was quite so aerobatic either, despite being smaller.

And it didn't howl.

Do think the Vulcan was better but boy it does look crazy cool now dont it.

Not an avid poster here, but regular reader. Time to post some of my collection. As a kid I wrote USN and USAF squadrons asking for pictures, and many replied sending photos and sometimes even patches. These will end up in the bin when I die, so better share them now while I still can.

More to follow.

 

[Snautzer01]

Nice.
