For those who may not know, XH 648 is one of the very few surviving Victor Mk 1s, now undergoing a major restoration at the IWM Duxford. It would be great if the opportunity was taken to return her to anti-flash white, but I have an idea she will retain the camouflage carried as a K1a tanker. I never quite understood the logic of camouflaging a tanker, an aircraft that never operated at low level, and in fact the early tanker conversions flew in the original white.
but could she go , clean, at height !
Certainly could, Tony Cunnane, who flew 648 on her final flight to Duxford, relates an occasion when she went supersonic (maybe!) over Paris.

I flew in XH 648 a few times, and witnessed her final departure from Marham to Duxford, described here
