Canberra T4 WT486 - Can you help?
Forgive the newbie approach here, I don't have a great deal of experience on Forums!
I have recently acquired the cockpit section of Canberra WT486 from Belfast and had her shipped to Wiltshire for a sympathetic restoration. While researching her service I contacted the RAF AHB, and received copies of her movement cards and an incident report, which covered details of a crash while she was in Wildenrath in 1958. She was part of 88 Sqdn, and a pilot by the name of JG Calvert was flying her at the time of the incident. Does anyone know of JG Calvert, have any photos of WT486 in service or indeed at the time of the incident, or does anyone recall flying or working on her?
My intention is to restore 486 and take her to shows across the country, fundraising for Lions Clubs in the UK wherever we can. Any history that I can acquire would certainly make her story more interesting, as at the moment she appears to have just been a hard-worked asset with no apparent 'history' to shout about - please prove me wrong!
