XL164, Handley-Page HP-80 Victor K2, Royal Air Force, on static display at Woodford Air Show, some time in the 1990s.
A lot of people, mostly Americans, seem to think this is an obscure, secretive Russian prototype, even though it served with the RAF for decades.

My Mango velomobile parked next to an information sign about the shooting down of a Flying Suitcase (Handley Page Hampden AE185) by a Flying Pencil (Dornier Do 215).
This happened on the 18th of August 1941. At that time it was very clear that the Nazis were the bad guys.
There is information available in various places, including here:
