My dad was SNCO Airframes Tech (Sgt Button) and I believe he worked on this Victor during his time on the VSF at Marham shortly before they were retired in 1993. Last 3 digits of his service number were 231 so he said he remembers her well!
@angeley3756 the genset helps provide electric & hydraulic power to the Victor for tests prior to running any of the inbuilt jet engines. It also helps to start the APU
Such an amazing aircraft. How can something that's been around so long still look futuristic? I love it.
What a tool! Beautiful piece of kit

Is the apu not the gen set on the deck.
No the APU is a small jet engine inside the Victor itself.
@teescottageguyproductions but why do they use that when the genset is there?
