They used Bassingbourn Canberra’s for “Billion Dollar Brain” but nobody except those there,seems to know which.
Bit of an old thread I know but I thought someone might be interested in a rather poor scan of a photo on display in the Tower museum, and taken at Bassingbourn during filming of The Billion Dollar Brain, showing one of the resident units Canberra’s (looks like a PR.3) being ‘bombed up’ with a soviet red star on the fuselage and tail fin plus what looks like an ’02’ aircraft code. It also shows a David Brown aircraft mover towing the bomb trolley, which was probably 231 OCU equipment as well.
I’m interested to know if anyone has anymore photos of the three aircraft used for the film – or if they know the identity of the Canberra’s used?
