Javelin and Victor

Lovely shots Scimitar, Victor B.1 XA919 was there with the Radio School, so guessing that is it.

Like most of the Locking training airframes it was flown into Weston-super-Mare airfield (16 May 1961) and towed across to the training school.

I wonder what she was used for at Radlett or was she just stored?

My understanding was that it was used by HP for structural testing and then scrapped, but can't remember where the info came from.

I'm sorry I don't have further info.

Did a bit of digging.

The Javelin may be XA699 /7809M an ex 151 and 5 Squadron FAW Mk5 but as there appears to be two but it may not be.

So far I haven't found the other one,(assuming that the wing in the foreground is another Javelin.)

71chally has already identified the Victor.

 

EDIT. Just found that they had XA564 an FAW Mk1.

Thank you for sharing the wonders. So many gems tucked away unseen and even worse, junked when holder has "finished " with them. Can I suggest a big push from all

to get more into the public domain. Quality I think should not be an issue.
