History and Use of the Handley Page Victor K.2 Aircraft

The Handley Page Victor K.2 is a British strategic aerial refueling aircraft used by the Royal Air Force (RAF). Based on the Victor B.2 bomber, the K.2 version entered service from 1975 to 1993, mainly during the Cold War period. The Victor K.2 was widely used during conflicts such as the 1982 Falklands War, where it played a key role in air-to-air refueling operations for British Vulcan bombers. Thanks to its long-range capabilities, it significantly extended the operational time of the RAF's strike aircraft.
