A bit more info on the Canberra mentioned above:
B6 mod WT333 is run up every 6 or 8 weeks and was last run on saturday,she ran for 25mins and cycled to 4k.
333 also takes part in the fast taxi events held at Bruntingthorpe usually twice a year, although the increased cost of insurance for these shows is becoming more of a problem.
As far as we know 333 is the only ground running/fast taxi Canberra anywhere,but i would be glad to hear of others !
Almost certainly she will never fly again,…….but lives on….
If you saw this aircraft now, you would not believe what condition she was in when the guys first got hold of her some 10 years ago, no engines, stripped cockpit, missing components etc, the list is quite exhaustive, but 333 has had a dedicated team behind her and they have worked miracles to get her to the status she is now.
Bamel, if you know or are in contact with young Roger Wintle, ask him if he would like to borrow a pressure washer, he’ll know what your talking about!!:D
