Hi Kwick,
I flew seven Canberra types inc. WK134 and XH 169 the two 'System IIIb' aircraft on worldwide Recce missions and would be interested to know if these Peru aircraft are airworthy and flyable.
Very interested to get a chance to fly a PR9 again! -or at least be involved.
An incredible aircraft that demanded huge respect in flying it safely.
As someone else said, and I can attest - it was actually twice a Hunter or vv. At least the avpin starter didn't need the flames beating out like on the Hunter!
