Your gen is duff, Beeayeate.

OK, it's a fair cop Jacko on that score. Completely forgot about the info my own website - senior moment there. No excuses but I was basing my supposition on a mail I had some time back from a Chilean enthusiast. This was not written in English and the babblefish translation seemed to say the two were airworthy now. Obviously not so reading from your gen.

I suspect that you won't be able to find hard evidence placing those Canberras at St Athan until after the war was over.....

Don't understand what you're getting at here as that's what I said. I wrote that the three 9s were in storage at St Athan from May 1982 after coming off charge of 39 Sqn on its disbanding. Surely this means that they were at St Athan after the war was over. Didn't say that they were involved in ops during the war, did you think I did? If, however, you know different I'd be pleased to hear your gen.
