In 1966 the Tanker Training Flight at Marham had 4 Victor B1A in camouflage and 2 Victor B1 in white, and no Tankers. The AAR training was carried out on the squadron. All the Tanker Mk 1/1A were delivered in camouflage. 55 Sqn retained 6 of its Bomber aircraft which had been fitted with 2 Flight Refuelling Mk 20 pods from RN stock. The other tankers were modded by Handley-Page to the three point standard and all arrived camouflaged.
When 57 & 214 had their complements of 3 point Tankers, 55 was re-equipped with 3 pointers.Their old 2 point tankers were redistibuted to the sqns as crew training hacks or to TTF as trainers replacing the B1s.
The B1As were still in service on TTF when I left Marham (that time) in May 71. This caused confusion at USA airshows when we had to explain that even though we were Tanker Training Flight we were flying a Bomber!
