    Rambo, B(i)6’s were perculiar to one Sqn only, 213 Sqn part of RAF(G) WK163 is definately a B2 but the story goes that the B2 nose was put on another Cranberry while she was with Radar Research and she got another one, then a bit later on they stuck B6 wings & engines on the B2 fuselage. If u click on the link in my earlier post, look for “Survivors” then look in the B2 section. And to be honest, if its to with Cranberrys and its on Les’s website Id pretty much believe it. Bex

    I stand corrected

    maybe I’m getting the wrong end of the stick, but I’m sure people many times more knowledgeable than me will correct me, but I was under the impression that WK163 was a B.(I)6. Possibly a converted B.2 to B.(I)6 configuration? Having read your recommended site bex it looks like she is probably closer to being a B.(I)6 than a standard B.2, what with B.6 wings, engines and nose.

    This Twin Pioneer attended several QVAG Watts Bridge Fly-ins during the 90’s. It was one of a pair operated by a company at the Coolangatta Airport (Gold Coast, Queensland). Its rego is VH-EVB. I would be interested to find out where they ended up.

    I think both may have been bought recently by a well known british classic aviation company as a spares source for their own aircraft.
