Don’t know if it help but remind me some good memories, I took those two photos in Blackbushe in late 70’s. Canberra nose (remember only one) and Danish two seat hunter (ET-271 I think)
Cheers,

NC900 that’s certainly how I remember the Canberra noses, although I remember both of them as being complete with canopies, and side by side,but it was 27 years ago. Im guessing as they were not marked, the information may have come from LAAS or Air Britain magazines of the time and may have been wrong? So it could actually be the B2 nose from WK135 that was fitted to WT327, very confusing? What of WD962, which is probably the one pictured above? All sources i can find say it was scraped at Farnborough in 1969? I have always thought it strange that they were there, not something Doug Arnold was likely to collect and long before the days of private cockpit collectors.
