Which Victor?
The one at Bruntingthorpe, probably. It was doing taxi runs a couple of years ago. (XM715)

For those without Sky access, here is the clip that they have just shown.
Hopefully, they'll cover the event in more detail later. If they do, I'll upload it accordingly...

Oh, and Sky really are making a (standard) pig's ear of this: they're now saying it was retired from service in 1984.

shouldve got Tim Marshall at Brunt or in the studio for Sky, Would have had a few more facts correctly mentioned! Unfortunately he is with the other girl in Pakistan! He is the only person on Sky worth listening to!
