A fine machine from Freds Shed, the real star of Black Buck.

World's first supersonic bomber; just think of the money the yanks spent developing the B58 which had a much shorter in service life.
Wonder how loud the 'boom' was compared to Concorde. |
I know she had to go, but filming it seems to border on the pornographic.

I have to agree that it seems a bit rude, but I was surprised at how the airframe was sectioned and carried away. It looked neater and more respectable than just scrapping it into unrecognisable flakes of aluminium.

Maybe it was carefully separated to be a useful spares source for the few surviving HP Victor and the cockpit section a possible restoration project?
Fingers and toes crossed! |
