Cant see anything in the auction catalouge about a Canberra wind test model it might not have been part of the collection and been privatly owned there was this however (sadly no photo)

Lot 68: Scratch built model of a twin-engine bomber monoplane, constructed of wood and covered with thin aluminum sheeting applied with miniature rivets, with working control surfaces, dummy guns, cameras, retracting undercarriage and the engine powered by mini electric motors, displayed within it’s own glass cabinet, the model has a wing span of 73.3cm/29in and a length of 47cm/18.5in.

(The model was based on ideas put forward by the late C.G. Grey, editor of The Aeroplane, and Jane’s for a standard day bomber c1936 the model took four years to construct)
£150-200
(Sold for £300)

Sound very nice.

Restoration to flight is progressing well, keep J**y free… is all I will say. 😉

Always was a fan of the Belfast. Watched them many many times at STN as a lad (happy days)

I find it quite ironic that the new A400 when it enters service will be pretty much the same size, payload, and speed as the old girl 😎 The RAF clearly got it right first time round.

Apart from the fact that the Belfast would not fly with the tail gate down!

At times I cant help thinking that Duxford only want to have the more glamorous aircraft, like you said how much on the American Air Museum and Airspace.

There is also one on display in Southend along with the fragments of a Zeppelin also a 6ft+ replica Zep on display.

Blimey,

Did she not do something similar at Mildenhall a good few years back.

She also had a bit problem at Southend back in July 2002 when she cracked an undercarage leg.

Not the landing above but her arrival after a display at Clacton

Dont think it is looks the firing loops are diffrent also if you look in the foreground there is more concrete hiding in the undergroth.
