I’ve just seen, out of the window here at Cranwell, one of the last Canberra PR.9’s doing a final round robin (one of three occurring simultaneously). As part of the Canberra farewell celebrations three PR.9’s visited all of the currently active RAF airfields in the UK and a number of other sites where the Canberra has had a strong association over the past 57 years.
It looked fantastic with the blazing midday sun glinting off its wings and it seems a real shame it will not be gracing our skys any longer. :sad:
Was anyone else lucky enough to see one of the three PR.9s today and maybe even take some photos?
Well, I suppose there is one consolation to the Canberras' demise and that is...........Air Atlantiques' Canberra......Just hope they can keep it flying. :dance:
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
and it seems a real shame it will not be gracing our skys any longer. :sad:
