not a specific canberra thing,but if i remember correctly (through 70’s alcholic haze :D) the background was that port (left) landing gear components seemed to wear out/fail before stbd (rh) ones did,the theory of leftlegitis was if you were a right handed pilot then your left leg would be slightly more developed/stronger and therefore during final approach you might put on tiny amounts of left rudder thereby yawing left,causing the left wing to drop slightly and contact the runway first…not my view but a theory put about at the time.
I only mentioned it because the left wing looks a little lower in that photo 😀

Almost all Canberra pilots aim to put one main wheel on the ground first then the other to prevent bounce which occurs with big wheeled aircraft if you put both wheels down together.

It has to be said the landing angle does seem a little odd, maybe crosswinds etc.

No crosswind, all control surfaces are neutral and angle looks OK to me.

The B2 Vulcan with 201 series engines was a bit of a smoker too

I need to wash my eyes out after witnessing that vulgar display of Canberra decapitation!..and to think the poor old girl flew in.;

XH568 was sold to Air Platforms in California who needed the nose to graft on to one of their Canberras for a NASA task requiring a large seeker head to be carried so she may fly again one day, although with the death of Sandy Falkoner it remains to be seen what happens to the business. The other parts from 568 have gone to keep WT333 and WK163 operational so not all is lost and without those parts both aircraft would be much worse off.

How about an Omani PR9

Try these for starters

When we bought WT333 along with XH568 and WK163 a decision was made that 568 would be displayed until such time as WK163 could be made airworthy and at that time 568 would be put into mothballs. WT333 had only 1400 hours on the clock which was only just “run in” but it also had a main spar defect which limited it’s flight envelope and made it unsuitable as a display airframe. It was, as all three airframes where, in very good condition but we spares recovered it to get 163 airworthy and then sold it on, it has since been very well looked after and a credit to the boys at Bruntingthorpe, long may it continue to live. WK163 however is still waiting for a replacement engine which is proving difficult to aquire, it’s not just a simple matter of getting an engine and fitting it, a whole raft of paperwork and record cards need to be in place. The aircraft needs a major service now and will not be ready for the 60th anniversary in May, a considerable amount of money is needed to make this happen, the money spent on the Vulcan could have given us 3 flying Canberras and their operating costs for years to come just to put it into perspective.
Temora’s TT18 is in excellent health in Australia and the 2 with Air Platforms are at the moment not flying and have not done so for quite some time. As far as we know the Indian Air Force have several airworthy airframes, T4 and B(12) and aim to keep them as display aircraft as a classic flight.
