I am looking for the RAF Test Pilots who were involved with the testing of the various Marks of the Victor at Boscombe Down and Farnborough over the period 1954-1980. Please can you help I am interested in the types of test fligts undertaken and if possible eventually the number of flights for each version

Many Thanks

for a start try the book 'The Cold War Years - Flight testing at Boscombe Down 1945 - 1975 by Tim Mason. ISBN 1-902109-11-2
Failing that try the folk at the Information Warehouse, QinetiQ, MoD Boscombe Down, Salisbury Wilts. SP4 0JF. Who are custodians of all the A&AEE reports.
