Hi,
Can anyone please help identify the Victor B.2/B.2R ex Handley Page Ltd and 100/139 Squadron parked out on the west side of Woodford airfield awaiting conversion to Victor K.2 noted on the 5th September 1970. Also could anyone please help provide a list of individual K.2 conversion and delivery dates including the Victor SR.2s of 543 Squadron that arrived later after the disbandment of the squadron. Lastly has anyone got any photographs they could share of the Victors parked out on Woodford airfield at the time.
Many thanks

I logged all 17 of the above at Woodford on various dates between April 1970 and late June 1970 as they were being delivered from Radlett. So all 17 should have been present in September 1970. For pictures you may find something in the 'Ringway Publications' books on Woodford through the years.
