During the Falklands war, boith sides had Hercules…

A PR9 wouldnt need a Herc, Canberras have quite a few fuel tanks on em.

Hey Bex Thanks. I will try and post some pics later today. sorry about hjacking your thread though:eek:

Thanks Peter, look forwards to em. As for the Hijacking, as its you, dont worry about it, personally I think the Modelling section should be renamed to “Bex John & Peters Modelling Area” LoL as we seem to be the regulars out here.

Ah thats better, she looks normal again. Well done Peter, didnt look an easy job. As for decals, dont go there, Ive got a 1/72 Cranberry (no surprise LoL) and the decals under the wings look total pants, so Im going to have to paint around the serial to hide the “yellow”. Once its not so embarrassing I will post her.

Now then, your Frightnings look rather nice too, and any chance a shot or two of those Lancs you got hiding in the background?

Just discovered that there are two Canberras at Mesa Falcon Airport in Arizona. They are N76764, ex WK142 and N76765, ex WJ614 belonging to the Jet Aviation Historical Society. Having forgotten that the Royal Navy operated Canberras, presumably not ship-borne (!), what was their role and why are they now in the US?:confused:

They were FRADU TT18’s, no they werent shipbourne, as for heading stateside, theyre now privately owned. As to their present status, I have no idea, maybe LesB can fill any gaps. Theres also a couple of other Cranberrys over there doing High Altitude stuff too.

I agree…hope he is ok…especially at this time we should remember ALL veterans with pride.

FUnny, I was going to write a sarcastic response to this thread, but once Id finished reading I thought better of it and Im going to say this instead:

Im glad his pages are gone, there were some rather insulting comments about people on it, but, as a Veteran I wish him well.

I think what is being said is that RW393 was the original Spit Gate Guardian that was replaced with a GRP replica. RW393 has been out and about on dosplay but has since returned to the Midlands.

The GRP replica was moved when RAF Turnhouse closed and is now at the airport. The replica is not of RW393 but is a generic reproduction.

Merlin,

Thanks for that, I said I knew naff all about Spitfires, and the other halfs insistance dont help either.

Thanks all for ya help.
