Canberra's

Does anyone know when the first flights of the Canberra’s (WK163) and (WJ874) are going to take place ?

The B2 is going to be on static at Waddo this year so hopefully I will at least get to see it flying on the arivial days.

99+36 is now sat on a pole or two at Sinsheim, Germany close by the concorde and tu144. I believe that the other two have also survived and are preserved elsewhere in Germany.

At a slight tangent to the initial post, but probably of interest to Canberra lovers who will view this post, here is a photo of one of the three Canberras that served in Germany between 1964 and 1993. What happened to them?

WK 163 requires some NDT checks and some more airframe maintainence to be carried out before it is ready , shouldn’t be too long though, not sure about WJ 874.
