Canberra Safety
2LP
You must have been particularly unfortunate with the Canberra
to hold the view that it was unsafe and suffered from so many inherent maladies. I flew it for close on 1600 hours in climates from Bardufoss to Butterworth and never experienced any of the engine problems you attribute to it. Nor can I recall any of my contemporaries beefing about these things either. In contrast to some of the other types in its earlier days it was a most forgiving aeroplane which needed very unsympathetic handling to make it bite.
