The following is a panorama I created of Andre Tempest's Victor XL231 based at the Yorkshire Air Museum. Stunning example, very well looked after by Andre and his team of volunteers. Clicking on the image will open the panorama in a new window, it requires Adobe Flash. You can zoom in & out using your mouse wheel or SHIFT to zoom in and CTRL to zoom out.

This Victor composit and the one Nemo posted before of a Vulcan are SO GOOD, I think they need their own place of hono(u)r so they can be easily found and visited again and again!!!
I'm hoping he does more of them
How hard would doing that be and what's the best way????????
Nemo, many apologies, I couldn't be there on the Sunday you came to do this as I had to rush my better half to A&E, and I'd no idea they were playing jet chess on the day either. I had told Andre a couple of weeks before to expect you though... Glad you managed to re-schedule though, many thanks you've done a cracking job!
Ray the ARMED cover is there to stop sticky fingers pressing the (live) engine fire extinguisher buttons.

I had hoped to photograph all the V force unfortunately the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford have said there is a charge of "several hundred pounds" for opening, closing and otherwise providing access to XD818.

I can't help but think if the right person at Cosford were to see the panoramas you have done so far, they would allow you to do the Victor and any other of their aircraft Free! Gratis! No Charge! Especially if they could have the use of the finished product(s)
I emailed the museums Curator, Al McLean with a link to the Vulcan and Victor panoramas and an offer of the source image for free, he unfortunately would not waive the charges. Oh well, back to YAM tomorrow to photograph inside the DH 104 Devon
