Canberra PR9
I was lucky enough to fly the PR9 in Cyprus 1964/5. It was my first tour and a real flying experience. Even then we had an autopilot coupled into the ILS although the out of trim forces with full flap made it a bit difficult for the autopilot to hold in and one had to compute and set the drift to enable to autopilot to hold the localiser. I was at a station Open Day near St*mf*rd the other day and found one the airframes I had flown 41 years ago, on the static display. The crew looked really young!
