I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Brian, XA909 above would have been Mike Smith's aircraft and as you say the first clean bailout. There was an extraordinary amount of additional equipment and stores onboard. Rumour had that there was even a small two-door cabinet

Care to PM me with the name of the Canberra/Vulcan nav. I think he was also the relief nav rad on our op deployment to Gan when one of the nav rads broke both wrists. We were gobsmacked when he arrived with one arm in a sling. I think he then did a tour at Waddo as wpns trg officer. he had also been a nav on 85 Sqn but didn't get any flying that tour.
