Canberra WP515 – Gatow Pics ?

My father suffered a collapsed lung whist flying WP515 in 1964 and managed to land safely at RAF Manby. The aircraft was based at Strubby with RAFCAW in the old Bomber Command grey/black scheme and must have been one of the last. My father got back to flying after a year in hospital and recovering.

Thank you Les,

I have not seen that one before. What colours would the underside have been? I see the upper surfaces are the old Bomber Command gloss black and grey but I am not familiar with the undersides.

PS – Does anyone have any cockpit pics of her, especially in Gatow ?

Thanks
