Need this for someone who flew it while at ETPS around 1956.
Googled it but no luck finding a picture on Les’s incredible Canberra site it says that its a survivor
WJ867 – RAF St Mawgan
Also in an Air Britain “movement register” it was listed as an RAE Canberra. (http://www.ab-ix.co.uk/ABN%201972-1.pdf)
Would prefer a “period” picture, digital image would be best – this might make it into a monograph. Looked in 2 books on British test aircraft including “Testing Colours” by Adrian Balch and “Forever Farnborough” by Peter Cooper but no luck there either.
Thanks

“transportphotos” does indeed have a photo of WJ867 in their lists. A digital jpg scanned from a 5x7in print and sent via e-mail will cost £5 payable only by PayPal – a tiff file will cost £8. The digital image can be used on a non-comercial web-site. To publish and use a hard-copy involves buying a reproduction licence from them.

Steve and Thunderbird
Thanks – I’ll look into the transportphotos thing – I have a bunch of other fotos I want from them too.
Steve – I will wait for your photos as well.
BTW Does anyone know what the livery was for ETPS Canberras before the raspberry ripple scheme? Bare silver – or something like WH876 in the other thread?

Probably, but I will have to check when I get home and get back to you in January. Someone will probably have beaten me to it by then.
