Welcome to the Forum, Ken, I am ex-RAF myself, the nearest I got to Canberras, was a trip in B2 back in 1978! Had great fun, even managed to "drop" a bomb on my old school!

Best I've managed is a Dragon Rapide (My only flight to date as well)

There was also the flight in a Vulcan, 240hrs on Nimrods, 300 odd hours on Puma HC1/1As and 45hours 38 mins in a Vampire T11 plus god knows how many hours riding in the back of C130s! Plus, 8 1/2 hours solo in a Chipmunk T10 and Silver C guilding Wings!

Here is a photo of what was WB567 formally of No 12 AEF RAF Turnhouse, it always flew port wing 5 degrees low because of a construction fault! I flew I flew in her on several occasions!

My students always used to use the 'construction fault' when they flew left wing low!

Ap 4308A-PN says that a trimming tab was fitted to the Starboard Aileron but 567 had also one fitted to the port aileron as well! I remember coming into land in 567 when we met a port crosswind. The instructor and I had to change our underwear when we landed!
