In days of old when the RAF was bold
and Canberras ruled the skies. . . .
In its heyday, there were
62 Canberra squadrons in the RAF, and there still is one out there in the wilds of East Anglia. The Aussies had them (grew their own even), the US (home grown), Indian Air Force, South African, Rhodesia, several South American countries, the French, Germans, Swedes . . . Canberras were everywhere, and record breakers to boot!
You'd think that with all that history and all those thousands who flew them or kept them flying, the venerable
Queen of the Skies would be ripe for memories. . . but it's just not a sexy jet!
I for one would love to hear of the experiences of others flying or working the Canberra. Hope it happens.
