Canberra or RB57
 

Found this interesting photo on Facebook.
First of all: Where could it be?
Is it a Canberra or an American RB57 in the middle of the photo?

My bet would be an early USAF B-57. From the colour scheme possibly an RB 57A.

British or American airfield?
Or USAF base in UK?

Looks like an American airfield to me.
I'm having trouble identifying the aircraft on the far right - Anybody?

OK. I'll start - A26 ?

I thought that all of the U.S. Canberras had tandem cockpits?

Looking again, I think you're right, Terry.

Does this help?

I didn't think that any B-57's had the glass bomb aimers position for visual bombing.

Also, could it be an Australian a/c?

The RAAF Canberra's were valued in 'Nam because of their visual bombing capability.

Does the B-47 give any hints about time and whereabouts?

Tip tanks + nose panel = an early RB-57A, so most likely somewhere in the US

The B57 A was almost identical to the B2 externally so - yes the early B57's did have nose glazing !

I'd say post WW2 ;) a US base in Europe, France or Spain, though leaning towards France, early 50's.

Isn't that a Blackburn Beverley in the distance behind and above the RB-47?

C119 - surely

Presuming that the aeroplane at the front right of the picture is a Curtis Pusher replica, I would tend towards the U.S.A.

Now taking a further step. Cole Palen at Old Rheinbeck ( "Planes of Fame) in NY State had a Curtis Pusher replica as well as a flying "Spad" and "Avro 504" among others in the 50's.
As , presumably these would not have made long trips together far from home, it could be that we are looking at an airfield in the North East of the U.S.A. ( near or in New York State?).

not a uniform in sight

Many Natives in white shirts - no jackets or ties (= not UK)

The F-100 seems to have a serial #4175? possibly 41753???

No F-100's seem to have had a "41" serial but there are three "-X753"

55-3753 F-100D-30-NA

55-2753 F-100D-40-NH

53-1753 F-100C-01-NA

The same F-100 nowadays:

Hope it works.

The presence of an Avro 504 pins it down to either Australia or Canada, or somewhare close to Canada.

I do think that one11 has got the 'Canberra/B57' ID right.

Also the location is definitely not Australia - Haraka is closest to the money on location, IMHO.
