I’ll listen to anything, dependant on my mood. Good moods mean anything from the 50’s upto about the 90’s, Country music and for a good old bad mood nothing beats a bit of Iron Maiden & Guns n Roses. However, my all time favourite has to be this: Massed Corps of Drums of the British Armed Forces. I still play my Tenor Drum for my Old Farts Association. Bex

If you find the deliberate degradation, belittling and downright bullying of anyone on the grounds of their gender, race, religion or sexuality to be amusing, then perhaps you should reconsider your values, especially in light of the multicultural society in which you live?

Unless of course you’re a fully paid up member of the BNP or Combat 18 et al.

As a youngster from the North I grew up on Manning, but as I grew older his “Comedy” seemed less funny.That kind of humour is even more less funny when you loose your job because of people that have views like his so called comedy coz youre different. Kev you forgot one organization at the end, The Railways. Bex

No they finish in 2 weeks at Cosford..

6 Sqn finishes then too.

They will not go to Waddo or any other airshow..

Sorry all, not our doing…

What a waste, the idiots in charge could at least let u guys & gals have 1 play day before shutting down…… Oh Al, is the Sqn Standard going into the dome at Cranwell with the others? Bex

Damien & Doughnut, cracking photos guys, thanks for sharing. Al, totally amazing design and a credit to you, your team and the Squadron. Looks to me like 6 Sqn doesnt wanna go quietly…….. Well PLEASE DONT :diablo: Bex

Funnily enough the only bit that currently falls fowl of H&S is the cockpit because there is a hole in the floor! Dont get me wrong she aint in teh best condition by any stretch but all things considered is doing well. If anyone is intrested I will post a few snaps

I think she last flew late 70’s/early 80’s.

Jon, if u wouldnt mind posting a few shots, that would be great. Bex

pretty sure the intended replacement for the canberra was Tsr-2 bex, 🙂
for an example go to the history page of the below link 🙂

http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/tsr2/index.html

also the wikipedia link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR-2

for the life of me i cannot remember who told me about the TSR-1 and TSR-2 designations, it seems logical that the canberra would have been designated as TSR-1 if their planned replacement was TSR-2, otherwise i would have thought that the MoD would have called TSR-2, TSR-1 instead :diablo:

My bad, ty for the links, could have sworn Id been through Damiens site with a fine toothcomb LoL That’ll teach me. However, I should have written something else in this sentence “The early replacements were by Valiants, Victors & Vulcans”
the extra bit being this “to cover bombing roles, but in “EE Canberra by Roland Beamont & Canberra Operational Record by Robert Jackson” I can not find any reference to the Canberra being replaced by TSR2, also I can not find in either of these books the Canberra being referred to as a TSR1, and neither do I recall seeing it mentioned in Ken Delves book either”

However the is a pretty good photo on page 49 of Bee’s book of B2 WD937 with a Lightning F6 & TSR2 Prototype on the apron at Warton. Bex

Tillerman.

Flamin nutter springs to mind, specially with the turn to port, that could have been a brown trousers moment, albeit briefly……. Bex
