(the aeroplane not yer dad :D).

Rob, I have to agree on both counts!

Having been around the Jet Age E28/39 and watched it evolve from a basic fibreglass shell to what you see now over the years has meant that I haven’t really noticed the oustanding transformation..until I see the thing out in the sun on the way to Cranwell again and I am all of a sudden reminded of how impressive the work that has been done to achieve it really is!

Proud? Just a bit!

Uploaded the rest of the pics to the facebook page http://on.fb.me/lNiGFc featuring TT18 senior in action, I believe?

Indeed it does!

In their element, both the E28/39 and the old chap!

Fantastic stuff!

Always great to see all of the hard work being showcased, if ever there was an organisation deserving of a “stalwarts of persistence in preservation” award, Jet Age Museum must surely be it!

I’m looking forward to the photographs brought back by TT18 Senior! 😎

Get yourself signed up Sir Phantom!

We have a dedicated paylods thread running in which we have all learned an awful lot, even the seasoned Canberra veterans. You would be made most welcome!

Apologies for “forum drift”..hope it doesn’t contravene too many rules”

I will look the book and give it a read. My finding will be duly de-briefed!

Cheers, Timbo

any more?

Chaps, great to see a Canberra thread with a different flavour!

Phantom, thanks for the heads-up on the book, I will look it up!

Paul, do you have any more photo’s of the ’57 you could share? Being a Canberraphile I and my esteemed Canberra Crazy Colleagues would love to see more of your liaison with a B-57 if possible!

We’d be very interested in anything you could share with us over here too…;)

God it must be bad when I’m “yer man”!

The crackly stuff is most likely one of the export variants of B(I)8. There is a glut of that style of panel usually stamped with an EA9 part number floating around which has pretty much no use sadly. Best thing to do is buy some switches off me and make it look pretty to stick on your shelf! 😀

The jettison panel is generic canberra fit, they made thousands of those little panels and they are all starting to appear at once when 10 years ago you couldn’t get them for toffee!

All nice little keepsakes nevertheless!

so you got some of the clear ones, we had some with a yellow tinge but they are slightly too big

I do have a supplier of clear lamps ready to be red lacquered which fit the bill perfectly (just fitted one to a panel lamp now to double check!)

Drop me a PM with your requirement and I’ll get you a price

WT806
(anyone got any round red bulbs for cockpit lights)

Matt, good luck with that – sold my last 5 or so at Newark on Sat. Best bet is to paint readily available clear lamps red. Cheaper, easier and somewhat more renewable!

Looks (from memory) similar to the comms junction used in the Gloster Javelin, which was based at Binbrook during the 60’s.

As for why it was in stores until ’86 – don’t read too much into that, we still had crates labelled Hunter and Javelin in the main stores at RAF Marham while I was there until 2001. When the kit was finally released to back to an MU it was quite often bay serviced on Station before being dispatched, giving it a recent date on the tag.

I have a Canberra B(I)8 control yoke with a serviceable tag, stating it was bay serviced in July 1996 at Laarbruch – they were retired from there back in ’72!

Best of luck in the quest to find her a new home Johnny, us Canberraphiles would love to think of one being saved, the UK Canberra population hs been decreasing at an alarming rate recently!

ahh you spotted it too! A nice (but dented!) T4 nose. I’ve got a lovely shiney static vent would fit lovely on the side of that where it’s is missing! :p

I’m not sure I’d be recommending spraying the stuff without the proper safety gear.
I seem to recall even back in the 80’s when health and safety wasn’t nearly so prevalent we had to wear good masks when spaying the stuff on Tornado wings. If it gets in your lungs it’s not good news at all!.

We never wore masks on the Sqn when applying the stuff using those garden centre type flower sprayers, but then that was just one squadron of many(ish) and there’s nothin’ wrong with me!… *cough*….:p:p

As is so often the way with H&S – common sense may be the best judge, whether using PX-24, WD-40, Pledge furniture polish or otherwise. Prolonged exposure and inhalation of any will be les than healthy!
