Handley Page Victor K2 Beer Mat

Aircraft & Exhibits, Circa 1990, Cosford, Hangar Two, X003-6678

Handley Page Victors served as the RAF's refuelling tanker from 1965–1993. This beer mat commemorates the fleet's role in the Gulf War in 1991. Eight Victors from Nos. 55 and 57 Squadrons were deployed to Bahrain to support the coalition's air forces against Iraqi targets. Nearly 300 operational refuelling sorties were completed without incident, despite all the Victor airframes being over 30 years old.
