Hello,
this is a quick heads up for anyone that lives in the Melbourne area that next weekend my Canberra B2 cockpit (WJ676) will be on display outside Models and Hobbies 4U from 9am until roughly midday. The address is Corner of Dorset and Boronia Rds, Boronia.
Its a great opportunity to see a very early mark of Canberra that is still fitted out with all of the 1950’s gear such as Rebecca, GEE etc..
All the best and hope to see some of the locals there.

Yes, I took the door off to make access easier and let people in. The only thing that worried me was that every kid wanted to muck around with the T4 bombsight and I was concerned that it would get damaged, maybe next time I will take it out.

Here are a couple of photos from the day, all told about 100 people came down for a look which is more than I was expecting. It was great to chat to everyone and is always fascinating to speak to people who worked on Canberras, built Lincolns and flew in Bombays etc… The weather was overcast but it didn’t rain and thankfully it was not too hot.

Bump. I hope to see a couple of people on Saturday.
Matt, the ‘family’ has doubled since you were last here, next time you’re in town we should try and catch up.

Nice to read that the ‘family’ has grown!
I’ll be stuck in NSW next week, but I wish you all the best.

Good news Paul, I’m sure it will be a pleasure to meet the public and chat. It’s always what I enjoy doing at Cockpitfest.
