Flying the Canberra
I first flew the Canberra at Cottesmore in 1972 after a ground tour at Hereford. After the OCU at Cottesmore I went to 85 sqn at Binbrook and then 100 sqn at West Raynham. Then on to 360 at Cottesmore moving mid tour to Wyton followed by a tour as Maintenance test pilot at the overhaul facility, Aldergrove, in Northern Ireland. Then Back to 39 at Wyton for less than two years before off to Radar Research Squadron at RAE Bedford flying many canberra versions, Comet, Nimrod, varsity and Viscount.
Of the flying the PR9 at 39 and the SC9 at Bedford were the most exciting and the research work at Bedford was the most interesting and the Viscount the most valuable for career progression
