Canberra WK163

Any news on a replacement engine for WK163, I see one is available from Everett http://www.everettaero.com/, its a 109 but presumably its not useable for some reason, no logs perhaps.

We are still trying to find a suitable engine with the right paperwork, until we aquire an engine we are firmly grounded. Any leads to an airworthy Avon 109 with all the correct log cards and records would be very much appreciated.
Next year sees the 60th anniversary of the first flight of the Canberra and it would be a great shame to miss celebrating this unique event.

Hi S63
Anything happening with the T4(874 ??) ?? is she likely to be a flier ??

cheers baz

Thanks for the update.

Such a shame 163 is missing from the airshow scene – always given a good display whenever I’ve seen it. Can’t quite believe the last time I saw her though was at Southport in 2003 – nearly 5 years, eek!

Would indeed be a shame if the 60th anniversary couldn’t be marked by having the aircraft flying, let’s hope progress is made finding the Avon over the coming months.

As far as I am aware – she was last seen at Cov looking sorry for herself outside H7.

Classic Flight are kind of busy with the Dak farewell tour at the minute…
