This Victor was built as a B2 and retained by HP for autopilot trials, also with A&AEE Boscombe Down. XL164 never flew as a bomber, rather was selected at the end of 1972 to be one of a number of B2s converted into K2 tankers, with modification work carried out at Woodford. After serving with 57 and 55 Sqn, the latter being the last to operate the type, XL164 was wfu in September 1993 and flown to Brize Norton in for use as an instructional airframe (9215M). It was scrapped in August 1995 with the nose saved by the Gatwick Aviation Museum, moving to The Bournemouth Aviation Museum in May 2013.

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.

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.
