Canberra on One

I remember a committal height of 600ft for a single engine approach. It was made clear after a tragic loss that if you were still IMC on a normal approach and lost an engine below 600ft by the rules you had only one option - to abandon the aircraft.
Engine failure after take-off was full rudder and 10 deg of bank then reduce the bank and power on the live engine until 1 ball width of slip.
Take-off in PR7 fully loaded with tip tanks was keep it down to tyre limiting speed then level at 5ft until safety speed before climbing.
As for FJ vs ME stream to Canberras - I came to Canberras via ME, Vulcans and Nimrods.
