Sadly, this Victor was lost one year after this picture was taken, on 19 June 1986. It crashed on approach to Hamilton airport, Canada after the crew had misidentified the runway. It landed 300 feet short of the runway. This photo is copyright © Jonathan Verschuuren, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
