One of the truly legendary aircraft. Proud to say the RAAF flew the Canberra as well.

Saw one flying at Waddington (I think) in 99. The display aircraft for the season had been restricted from rolling during the display so the crew, wanting to make a point, after a pass, rolled inverted, righted, and then rolled the other way. I've got some prints somewhere.

Being a part of the last deployment must indeed have been an honour, mfg.
