Re Treble One’s post at 119. The story I heard was that CinC RAFG was on holiday when he saw a roadside notice by a cafe/bar saying “Come and watch the crazy Englanders fly under the bridge”. He parked and went in for a coffee/drink with his wife and only had to wait half an hour before a Canberra whizzed under the bridge. Not too sure of the outcome!
Again from the 60s - who knows the real story behind the stealing or borrowing of a steam locomotive near Hamburg?
