Canberra WJ753
Can anyone help? I am looking for any information on WJ753 and it was suggested I try here.
I have restored the B/A seat out of this aircraft and am looking for any pictures or information on it's service life. I know it ended it's days with 100Sqd in an accident at Marham. I have read this was covered in accident reports but I can not find copies anywhere. I believe all the crew to be safe.
I have found one or two photos(one of WJ753 on what I think is the dump possibly at Marham).
Any help will be welcomed.

All things Cranberry here. If the answer's not on the site, I suggest an e-mail will get a result; the site's owner does a stunning job.

Upon arriving at Marham on 20th June 1978, a rather sorry looking Canberra was seen, on it's belly just off the runway.
The day before WJ753/L 100 Sqdn swung off the runway after a heavy landing, a wing dug in and it cartwheeled.

I know someone who was watching outside the fence when it crashed, he took the well known shots of it crashing and gave evidence at the BoI.
Doubt if you could get hold of the accident report now
