HP Victor questions

Hi,

I’m hoping to invoke the collective genius of this forum, to help me with a couple of questions regarding the mighty HP Victor.

1) Did the Victor carry bomb bay fuel tanks when equipped with Blue Steel?
2) Has anyone come across a technical reference on the aerodynamics of the Kuchemann fairings when fitted to the Victor B2?

Much appreciated!
Steve

Indeed they did! However, I was hoping (long shot) that someone might have come across an RAE or Handley Page internal technical report, if I'm really lucky with Windtunnel results.

Sounds like RAE territory. Have you contacted FASTA at Farnborough? They have containers full of RAE technical reports. All things wind-tunnel are much in the forefront there at the moment as they get the remaining tunnels ready for visitors.
