It came from this website I found yesterday, if you take some time to go through all 19 pages there are some really amazing aircraft pics new and old.
It's a pilots site but I registered and found a pilot from my 824 Sqdn days on the Ark Royal

Enjoy

I've got a similar photo in a copy of Wings of Fame with a Bucc tanking a Victor. As far as I'm aware in the later case at least it was a photo opportunity at the end of some trials the other way round, rather than a practical fuelling.

You would figure the vic would drink more fuel during the operation then they could provide! Still interesting. Thanks for the pic!

I remember climbing all over Lindy's tanks. Tight fit inside the fuse. But you'd be surprised as to how much they hold.

Haven't seen a Vixen for awhile.... I haven't flown the SkySim one for awhile either, for that matter...

Thanks for the shot mate
