Hi Mark9,
I can vouch for the Air Atlantique Canberra being in operation. It almost took half the guys in the EGSF circuit out when it did an impromtu wazz around the airfield prior to the summer airshow season.

Hearing him calling inbound I nobely decided to do an 'extra thorough' set of power checks in the Bulldog and watched the insuing 'circuit flush' from the touchlines prior to take off.

I have to say it looked fantastic from the hold point but slightly more interesting from the guy on first solo turning downwind.

No damage done and nice of the chap from Air Atlantique to drop by.

Yip the Canberra is alive and well!

Well, not really. Classic Flight's WK163 threw a turbine blade or two a few weeks back. Now sits at Baggington awaiting a Avon (from somewhere ).

Their other Canberra (the "Blue One" ) is still undergoing sparodic work to make it fit to fly again.

When the BBMF gets to be unsupportable, wouldn't it be great to have a CWMF?
Finally the name plan starts to pay off........
