RiotRolo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thought you guys might appreciate the photos I took of a Canberra whilst walking; the pictures were taken on my phone so are not great quality but was shocked to see this just sat here. There is also another plane which I believe is a hawker hunter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested, if only I had the cash Would be awesome to see someone buy them to display at shows. It would be a definite winner for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Little hope for the Hunter in the UK. Both have been in external storage for 2-3 years so they will need a thorough going over before flight, even though they were both airworthy when stored.

John R Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 The Canberra did a taxi run at the last Kemble show I attended. I think that there was talk of it needing flightworthy engines...and probably a lot of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Those hangars used to be full of Hunters stored on Anti Det servicing, around 1980 the Buccs were grounded due to wing fatigue checks/repairs. Dig out the Hunters ! The Hunters were released and the RAF was reintroduced to them. 1980 Fairford USAF at home type thing was a blast with these coming in real low , proper airshow, when it was worth watching !

Rick Brown Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That Canberra and the hunter you saw are non flyers and I believe are non runners. a bit more info here: Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
