Greetings,
Im doing a little digging about Canberra B2 WH903 and all was well until I started getting the feeling that WH903 had more than one nose.
I know from lesB site that she went from B2 spec to T11 then finally T19 so this may explain the multi nose part.
now for the confusion factor! The B2 nose was used for procedure training and first went to YAM after retirement 1999 (see LesB site for pic) then Gatwick (peter Vallance collection) 2000. I saw her back at YAM 2005 with me so far?
but in another recent post (instrument panel ) Originally Posted by FLY.BUY

So the daft question is are there more than one B2 procedure trainers knocking about wearing WH903? also when did WH903 change from T19 to TT22 prior to retirement.?
Could the real WH903 please stand up!!
I appologise now for having a senior moment over this one but I’m sure as heck confused to this airframes history.

If it’s any help, I have two photos of WH903 as a T19 at West Raynham in 1974 in 100 Sqdrn markings. Can’t post them because I can’t find them

After a bit more digging I think there might be a bit of mis identity here.
I think Mark’s TT22 is actually WH803 which was with FRADU coded 856. I think this as I found several vendors of Canberra pics who have examples of both WH803 and WH903 all calling 803 a TT22 and 903 a T11.
Still leaves me with the procedures cockpit problem though… still having a senior moment though!! 😮
