Watching it now. My god I wouldn't let the bunch of bodgers anywhere near a plane after watching them work!

Terrible, I worked on Canberras for 5 year in the 80's and they were a fantastic jet.

Suffering from corrosion problems then so it must be in a right state now.

Still nothing can replace it for Photo reccy, a really stable platform

The US Air Force have one on outdoor display at a museum in the north end of Pensicola Florida.

It is all black and sits close to the ground, I knew it wasn't American, fortunately it had a plaque identifying it.

I believe it was used for night ops. nice looking aircraft.

The Canberra in the previous post is at Eglin Air Force Base Florida

Just watched it on line. Been out the country for a few days.

Man when I leave the RAF, I'll be able to drop all my standards and still get a job.

I believe the Americans still fly their "Canberra" - RB57. I think it is in the guise of a NASA jet, used as part of the BACN programme!
