The Argentinians lost two of their eight Canberras, but I believe these were shot down over the sea.

The R.A.F. used photo reconnaisance Canberras from Chile, but there is no record of accidents to these aircraft.

It would be interesting to ponder in which wars the same aircraft were used on opposite sides!

Video of the accident scene here. TV news (of course) suggesting it is a write-off. The cockpit is almost separated from the fuselage.

G-ORJX was stored at Woodford but that was back in 2001, is it still there gathering moss?

The registration was cancelled 2/12/02 and my information is that the aircraft was parted out at Woodford.

Very interesting. Certainly food for thought and a good reason to get the side cover off your computer case once in a while and get in there with one of those diddy little usb powered minivacs that no-one seems to sell any more.

Let Google be your friend, don’t bid for it, I want one!

If you were bidder number 5, you failed to secure the item at £190 as this did not reach the reserve, although the reserve had been reduced.

There’s a Norseman still flying? Now there’s a surprise for me, I thought they were all dead and gone years ago. How many of them do Buffalo have?

Continuing the thread tangent, there are about 40 Norseman or should that be Norsemen (?) flying predominantly on floats. If my memory is correct, there was one being rebuilt at Flabob Airport in California about the year 2000.

“When I said use all the runway, I meant the length not the width!”:eek:
