Pogled od spredaj

Handley Page Victor je bil britanski štirimotorni reaktivni bombnik iz obdobja hladne vojne. Zasnovalo in proizvajalo ga je podjetje Handley Page Aircraft Company. Victor je bil tretji in zadnji V-bombnik, ostala dva sta bila Avro Vulcan in Vickers Valiant. Leta 1968 so ga prenehali uporabljati kot jedrski bombnik, je pa ostal v uporabi kot konvencionalni bombnik do leta 1993. Victor se je uporabljal tudi kot leteči tanker, dokler ga nista nadomestila Vickers VC10 in Lockheed Tristar.
