Canberra Bombers

Slightly OT, I was told by an ex-AFP Officer (now deceased) that the British used Canberra(s) at Woomera during the late 1950s early 1960s. One was being used for drone towing when the missile knocked the tail off and the negative "G"s the airframe experienced far exceeded design parameters before the wings folded/departed. Sturdy beast!!
