Nope, not nuclear war. Not even McDonalds opening in Red Square, but yours truely flying an RAF bomber in the area So after a loooooong flight from RAF Kinloss I'm over Moscow
The tower spots me

Ah look an airport

Just showing off

Being a tourist, visiting the Kremlin

Now where did I see that airport?

On final

That didn't do the tyres any good!
Rolling to a halt with EVERYTHING hangin' out

Nice!  ;D

some of the best ive ever seen  8)

Awsome shots! what type off plane is that?

great shots ozzy some lovely scenery

Awsome shots! what type off plane is that?

Is that not a Handley Page Victor? Awesome shots Ozzy

EDIT: It's not the K2

Notice how close to the R/W is the Blue Steel Missile! That's the reason it was decided not to use the Victor as a Blue Steel warrior and develop the K tanker instead.

Omag its a Victor, part of the V-Bombers.
The others being the Valiant and the Vulcan (drool drool).
If you look in my V-Force thread you can see the K2 variant

Not even McDonalds opening in Red Square

Great Great Shots Mark...loved that scenery...wow

I love the V Bombers...are there any still flying for airshows?

Thanks for the History logjam.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Alas Doug to the best of my knowledge there are none
XH558 (Vulcan) is under restoration, and there is a K2 Victor that is currently worthy of ground taxiing under a full restoration as well.
I hope they can get them back in the air, wonderful planes

Mark

There are actually two Victor K.2 that are still capable of fast-taxi runs - XL231 at Elvington and XM175 at Bruntingthorpe.

If anyone wants to catch them strutting their stuff, '231 should be taxying at the airshow on 21/22 August and '175 will be on show at the Bruntingthorpe openday on May 2nd

Nice shots and great aircraft too!
