Canberra overflights of the USSR
I understand the need for OpSec but the flights of 540 Sqn Canberras over Kapustin Yar are now a piece of history yet still officially denied by HM Gov. Seems such a pity that we can’t discuss it even 60 years later, the flight that was hit by 23mm cannon shells yet still photographed the objective and then continued on to Iran would be stirring stuff to read about.
For what it’s worth if any of the crews are reading this you have my absolute respect, especially the navs who found that launch site with nothing more than a pencil, a compass, and a stopwatch. Incredible feat really.
