Canberra B.16

It's unfortunate that there so few shots of B.15/16s as they were such an interesting variant.

That image is probably one of the most well known ones as it comes from the IWM photo archives site

Another nice one here from the IWM with rockets being loaded on to a B.15

Finding nice shots with the Nord AS.30 missiles on a B.15 missile is very rare!

2" rocket pods by the way, not SNEB!

Great phtos, thank You for sharing!

 

RAF Tengah would make a great setting for a diorama as you can place several aircraft types side by side on the apron. I could locate the spot where the second photo was taken but the first one is a guess... What a fascinating place! I spent two and a half years at Tengah in the 90s.

 

Kind Regards,

Antti
