Excellent Tony! great shots!

That Victor exterior profile of the shot gives me an idea for a halloween costume mask.

Make a great profile of one anyway... ;)

Is Bruntingthorpe where the Handley Page Victor XM715 made a brief flight in 2009?

Great shots Tony. The Guppy interior is especially interesting, owning A2As Stratocruiser as I do.

A question, Tony...does Bruntingthorpe have an 'open cockpit' policy, or was it just a special day when you could gain access to them ?

Great shots, Tony, I'd love to swing by Brunty on my next visit to Blighty - lots to do and see there it seems. My daughter suffers the same fate as yours; right now she's 4 and loves it, hopefully that stays the same but come the teenage years I think it'll be more of the same 'told to stand there' as your

Love the Petter Blue trolley acc in the first Victor shot. I've been spending some time modelling one of those of late.
