77 years ago 22 June 1945, my dad flew his first combat mission. It was only his second flight in Burma with 79 Sqn. 1/48 Tamiya P.47D. Extract from my dad’s log book and the 79 Sqn. ORB. ‘a ridge at QA 030670 was the uninspiring target for this sortie. Glide bombing attacks were made and all bombs fell in the area. Four (?) strafing runs were made by each aircraft on the area and along a track (?). No results or movements were seen. Bombs: 12 x 500lb Mk IV GP 11 Sec delay Ammo: 9,510 x .5 API’ John

EE Lightning undercarriage bay colours
canberra kid replied to Wings unlevel's topic in Aircraft Cold War
I'm fairly sure it was post service too, to protect the bays from corrosion, seeing as the u/c would not be raised again. John -
EE Lightning undercarriage bay colours

True, I should have pointed that out, but under that wax oil, it is still aluminum and muck. John -

When we first started the project we a had planned to add an in depth model section, but as the book grew and grew into two very substantial volumes something had to go. Having said that when the original book came out it was my go to book for Canberra info, I don't think that has changed other than it is now even better. The book contains a lot of facts and airframe detail plus first had accounts from ground and aircrew backed up and supplemented with extracts from Squadron diaries and operational records. The photos are very good, with many never published before. John
