Good luck with the project. Roger Brooke's 2 volume set on the Victor covers all of the technical stuff very well, so I'm guessing you're going more for the "Victor tales" sort of thing, which could be very interesting. May I suggest you look at ex Victor QFI Tony Cunnane's website Tony Cunnane's Life and Times if you havent already done so. He has two sections devoted to his time on Victors and would well be worth approaching for permission to use some of his stories. You would also be very welcome to put an entry requesting contributions on the guestbook on the V-Force Reunion website.

Must trawl through my own log book - something interesting must have happened on at least one of my 421 Victor sorties! All my time was spent on K1s - the Mk 1 has tended to become somewhat forgotten compared to its big sister the Mk 2, but it was a good reliable aircraft, if a tad short of power on occasions!
