Anyone know more about why the Classic Flight Canberra couldn't make Southport on Sunday, and where else it might be flying so I can see a Canberra in flight,

Cheers,

James.

Hi James,

Might it be because it was at Duxford?? No reason why it couldn't have nipped up to Southport mind you :think: It didn't land but flew in.. displayed and flew straight off again.

The announcer said that it encountered technical issues en route to the venue and turned back. :sad:

What exactly the issues were, I don't know, sorry.

Cheeky B*****d! :shock:

The reason it couldn't attend was that the wind was out of limits for its display.

They don't seem to know the difference between technical and operational :huf:

Maybe wind is too "technical" for him to understand!

Thought you might have something to say there Tom.

Thanks for clearing that up Tom, I was starting to wonder.

Anyway, glad that the Canberra is ok and fit to fly, look forward to seeing it in the future.
