This Victor first flew in November 1959 and spent its entire career as a test frame based at Radlett, Boscombe Down and Bedford. It was placed into storage at Radlett in November 1968 but, after plans for tanker conversion fell through, SOC in October 1975 with 243 test flights to be then used as a spares source. In August 1983 the gutted hulk was scrapped with only the cockpit saved for preservation. This was bought by SWAM and will be restored to display condition, especially important as this is the last surviving section of any B.2, the others being B.1s or K.2 tanker conversions.
