57 Squadrons missing Canberra

I was on 69 Squadron at Laarbruch around that time, and well remember the story circulating.

All our Canberras were well and truly dispersed in woodland, and in blast bunds. We were supposed to be a "mobile" Squadron, in the event of the Russians making any moves - had plenty of transport, but Beetles, not Trabbies, they were strictly for "the other side".
