Yup,

WV787 was a Mk.2 converted to B(I) Mk.8 (Mod)

The straight Mk.2 from the mid to late 50s had the punka fitted to the u/c panel.

Gents,

Could it be from a B.2 of sorts?, here is a shot of the same panel in WV787 at Newark, she is a B.2 (mod).

Ok first what it is not.

B.2
T.4
PR.9
T.13
T.17

However it does match the poor photo I have of a B(I). Mk.12 so either Mk.12 or B(I). Mk.8.

Over Les B for confirmation.

It is definitely Canberra (or so my ex canberra mate says) I may have got confused over the marks though:o

TT18

Not TT.18 chaps, see image of WK126’s office (albeit missing a couple of components, working on that bit!)
