Triton R1021P HMS Victorious, British Aircraft Carrier in 1965 1/1250
A 1/1250 scale model of HMS Victorious in 1965 by Skytrex Triton R1021P. This model is in very good condition, see photograph.
Victorious was chosen to be re-fitted with an angled deck rather than the later fleet carriers because their double-decked hangers were not tall enough to accommodate high-tailed jet planes. She was our most capable fleet carrier in the 1960s and this model depicts her in this condition.
Whilst being re-fitted again in the late 1960s, she caught fire and was damaged sufficiently that she became a victim of a round of defence cuts.
