EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Handley Page Victor B1 XA930 takes off from Hatfield Airfield on 14 July 1960. The Handley Page Victor was a British long-range strategic bomber and transport aircraft, renowned for its impressive capabilities and innovative design. At an all-up weight of 190,000lb, XA930 was a formidable machine, and to ensure a successful takeoff from the short runway at Hatfield, de Havilland Spectre rockets were employed. These powerful boosters were attached to the underside of the wings and provided an additional thrust during the critical initial phase of the takeoff. The use of these rockets allowed the Victor to generate enough lift and momentum to clear the runway and begin its ascent into the sky. The Handley Page Victor B1 series went on to serve the Royal Air Force for over three decades, playing a crucial role in various military operations and transport missions. This photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history, as the powerful Victor B1 XA930 takes off, propelled by the raw power of de Havilland Spectre rockets.
