‘It was called Mythre, and registered as G-AYTO. It was painted turquoise and gold, with a moth and the American and British flags added on the tail.’

Here you can find detailed describtions of the several Tracker conversions – but no 2F2-4…
http://www.faqs.org/docs/air/avtrakr.html

2F2-4 is mentioned in this list
http://www.marchfield.org/rouen08.html

Bu133201 was a S2F-1 version c/n 172

This pic http://www.pbase.com/marauder61/image/55282369
shows c/n 193 – but this was Bu133222 :confused:

…just a simple approach:
Vincent Cartwright Vickers was the name of the son of the founder of Vickers Ltd.

or…

http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37074 #28
‘My guess on Vincent is that it is named after Admiral Vincent who won the battle of Cape St Vincent.’

or…

‘In the UK, aircraft names depended upon roles, so that the Vickers Vincent general-purpose type was the Vildebeeste torpedo bomber.’ :confused:

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

How did the Canberras PR.9 came to Chile? Do you know any detail?

Flying a Ka-6E glider in the very dry and hot Summer 1978 over Northern Germany with a nearly constant thermic updraft of 2 m/s in horizontal flight.
