canberra kid Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Vol. 2 is winging it's way to the publisher, then off to the printers, all being well it shouldn't be too long now. In the mean time another book signing event is happening. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do all Canberras when parked at dispersal leave their bomb-bay's open ? I do not know the answer, but my Dad did his national service as an engine fitter on 617 around 1954. Years ago, I made him a model of one of the planes he serviced. One of his comments were that the bombs were wrong - I had used the ones from the original Airfix 1/72 kit, apparently they were only coming in just before he left, up till then they were using WW2 stock - no problem, I will just close the bomb doors. No leave them open, that reminds me of how they used to sit at dispersal. Unfortunately, he is no longer around to ask, but it is clear that this was a thing from the start.
