    A very interesting Canberra you have there………do you know any of its history or its serial number?
    Here is a pic of how the door should be supported with its prop:

    I too gave money to support XH558 as we all did, now this year i went to see her fly at Waddington [she went u/s] and at Duxford where she never turned up…….to say i was disappointed was an understatement. I will not give any more money to support her,i feel bad for doing this but the amount of money that has been thrown at this project would have kept the Canberra and Sea vixen ect flying at airshows for years:dev2:

    Well it was very cold :eek:but well worth going …… pick up a fair few bits and bobs for WH887 including and brand new canopy cover and nav hatch cover [the nice silver ones like posh tarpaulin:D] i think the only down side was the amount of book stalls there was ….. i thought it would have been all spare parts ,but it was my first aeroboot and i did’nt know what to expect really.With that said it was a great success for me and i will be at the next one BRING IT ON:diablo:
    Many thanks to team WT333 for your help
