I've just stumbled in and have not read all posts on this matter. The series of photos titled IMG are brilliant.
Has anyone else commented on the fact that this series of photos clearly show that from the beginning of the roll, the port aileron is shown deflected upwards and continues to be shown in that condition in the remaining sequence of three photos until the aircraft is airborne. Whilst this accounts for the aircraft rolling to the left as it gathers speed, this can only occur if the pilot deflects his control column to the left or if there is a technical fault with the aileron control system.
What I'm unable to understand is that the photo, IMG-8401bb[1], showing the aircraft well and truly airborne, it is also shown with a slight bank to the right and the port aileron still deflected upwards.
I've never worked on Victors, but as an ex RAF airframe fitter this aileron situation is alien to my senses. Can anyone put me out of my misery?
