Canberra photos

Hey guys I have this four blade variable pitch prop that I was told it was from an old war plane that was supposed to fly close to the water and they only made six and they were destroyed. I don’t know if this is true or not but I will post pictures if anybody would be of interest to see if you or anybody you knew would know anything about it, I have two that are brand new in crates. Thank you

Could a mod move this to ‘Historic’ please?

Edit: Mods: Please make this a thread in its own right_ could get missed here by somebody who might find it really useful!

Replying to baz,hopefully there will be b/w image from my scanned photo(I think it was 1958 but memory not so good these days)there were 5 Canberra’s scrapped after the bomb/fire and 1 Venom that i had been working on for a month doing proper repairs to canon shell hole in the wing.i have 2 other pics taken at the hangar but not very good for aircraft.[ATTACH=CONFIG]222137[/ATTACH]

I have a pic I took in Cyprus in ’59/60 of WD988 in ALL White whilst it was in 103 MU,may be a bit plain!

Can you post it ??

OOPs, sorry about last message. Hopefully these will show up on this forum.



Apologies for the size. Having a bit of finger trouble.

RN / FRADU Canberras

As I said earlier, these were taken at Gibraltar in June 1983. I’ve enhanced them as best I can.

Please bear in mind, that this was my 1st experience of using a 35mm SLR, and I wasn’t too sure about any possible security issues, if I was spotted.

Hope they’re of some use.

Thanks for the pics and links to others, gents

Looks like I’m going to have to get some more Canberra’s….

Some more Robin A Walker cottesmore canberras – this time some of the T4’s taken 1973 inc one of the short lived Red/White/light grey scheme…spent some time polishing that a/c for certain occasions :rolleyes:

Just had a look on fighter control and the pics I was thinking about are no longer viewable (photobucket !).
But Robin A Walker on Air Britain has some wonderful Canberra pics…the link below is 231 OCU oriented but he also has some other lovely pics taken at the Canberra 25th anniv meet at cottesmore in 1974 where there was a large line up of canberras on both sides of the ‘Lazy’ rwy…I towed some of them out to there ;),a great day it was too 🙂

Hi Cabbage,

They will be of use at some point so I would love to see them.

Grey Canberras

I’m sure I have pics of Royal Navy / FRADU Canberras T.22’s, fitted with Buccaneer radomes, at Gibraltar.

These were painted Light Grey overall with red bands around the wings and fuselage.

Would they be of any help to you?

You will find plenty of inspiration there including heaps of photos, discussion by people who worked on or flew Canberras and plenty of model pics too.

Look under ‘Genera Board’ and then ‘Crazy modellers Canberra corner’

Thanks Belforte but the thread I was thinking of was also about the 231 OCU Canberras at Cottesmore in the 70’s (therefore covering at least 3 colour schemes).
I am away from home – cannot remember my p/w 😮

I believe the thread was by ‘Tanker’
