The first prototype Handley Page Victor B.2, serial number XH668 made its maiden flight on 20 February 1959 from the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) RAF Boscombe Down. The Victor B.2, with Conway RCo.11 engines providing 17,250 lbf (76.7 kN). The new Conway engines required redesigned enlarged intakes to provide the greater airflow. The wingtips were extended, increasing the wingspan to 120 ft (36.6 m). The B.2 featured distinctive retractable ‘elephant ear’ intakes not found on the B.1, located on the rear fuselage forward of the tail fin. These scoops fed ram air to Ram Air Turbines (RAT) which could provide electrical power during emergency situations, such as engine failure during flight.
