    This is very true and looking at the pictures of her at Salmsbury she looked a very nice complete Canberra and would have been a great addition to any museum, but as reported and seen in the pictures of her move she was cut in the wrong places with the engines still in and now unable to hold her own weight as a result of the cuts being inside of her wheels:(:(:(
