EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of mid-air refueling between a Handley Page Victor K.2 and a Vickers VC10, both iconic aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the late 1980s. The Handley Page Victor K.2, registration XM717, belongs to No.55 Squadron, while the Vickers VC10, registration ZA144, is from No.101 Squadron. The Victor K.2, a versatile strategic transport and tanker aircraft, extends its boom to transfer fuel to the VC10, a long-range, twin-engine transport aircraft. This scene represents the essential role of air-to-air refueling in extending the operational reach of the RAF's fleet, enabling them to maintain their presence and respond to various missions across vast distances. The intricate dance between these two aircraft in the sky is a testament to the skill and expertise of the RAF's aircrews, showcasing the importance of aerial transportation and logistics in military aviation.
