1953 London to Christchurch Air Race

Five English Electric Canberras (3 RAF and 2 RAAF) flew from London Airport to New Zealand in October 1953. Perhaps the Colonel's claim to fame alludes to LAP not being officially named Heathrow until 1966?

No, I've got them Malcie. I removed them off Micky's feet (brave or plain stupid?!) whilst he was asleep in the tower on a second half...... They still tend to get a bit tangled under the Falcon's rudder pedals from time to time, but still in good nick!!

Jez, given the state of my feet on a second half, I'd say either, and both.
