You're half right. I am fishing.
But I do not know exactly what happened at all, and haven't spoken to anyone reliable enough to lift it from the 'fascinating rumour supported by circumstantial evidence' category.
I do think that there was probably a plan to use Canberra PR9s from Chile, but don't have the faintest as to whether it actually happened or not. But I do also think that some of the PR9s were somewhere other than where the official line suggests. Those not at Wyton weren't sitting at St Athan, but could have been at Boscombe flying in support of some UOR, or could have been in Norway, Honkers, or any of their other regular haunts.
But after 21 years, I think that if it had happened, we would have heard something a tad more solid.....
Unless you know different!
