The Handley Page Victor was a British jet-powered strategic bomber, developed and produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company, which 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 been developed to perform as part of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent.
A number of Victors had received modifications to undertake the strategic reconnaissance role, employing a combination of radar, cameras, and other sensors.

I am wondering if anyone can help get the Victor B2 out? It looks beautiful. There is so many jet mods out there but seldom bombers that arn't turbo prop engined. I mean it is time for some bomber love?

Varients
Victor B.1 - Strategic bomber aircraft, 50 built.
powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire ASSa.7 turbojets rated at 11,000 lbf (49 kN)
Victor B.2 - Strategic bomber aircraft, 34 built.
powered by Rolls-Royce Conway RCo.11 engines providing 17,250 lbf (76.7 kN). The new Conway engines required redesigned enlarged intakes to provide the greater airflow required.
The wingtips were extended, increasing the wingspan to 120 ft (36.6 m).[32] The B.2 featured distinctive retractable "elephant ear" intakes not found on the B.1, located on the rear fuselage
forward of the tail fin. These scoops fed ram air to Ram Air Turbines (RAT) which could provide electrical power during emergency situations, such as engine failure, during flight.

Yess, we need more bombers.
