Now, THAT is an aircraft.
It's the Handley Page Victor which was one of the three 'V Bombers' in service with the RAF during the Cold War.
It went on to be an air-to-air refuelling aircraft and I believe that there was a photo reconnaissance version as well.
In 2009 a preserved Victor was shown at its base at Bruntingthorpe.
It wasn't approved for flying but it was OK to do a high speed run.
Unfortunately, things went slightly wrong and the aircraft became airborne.
Thankfully no-one was hurt and no damage was done but it was a worrying couple of minutes.
The pilot gives an account of the incident in the second video.
