Marham had a Vicor by the parade ground. It was the highest time airframe when it was put there, but as time moved on and the Victor service life was extended and extended yet again, it started to look like a young a sprightly thing compared to the aircraft on the flight line. Inevitably, the question of returning it to service was raised. But several buildings had been constructed over it's route into it's final resting place, so it became a source of spares and had an elevator missing for about a month once.
