Gone, but not forgotten

Uploading photos is dead easy.

I recall that as a kid in the first two years of High School seeing the Canberra fly a few times. It's distinctive and unique configuration with those huge wings absolutely fascinated me. A small group of us were military airplane mad to the point that we could identify any plane and recite the specs of all the planes used in WW1.....on both sides of the conflict.

Last time I remember seeing these was a couple of PR versions in Port Moresby in 1971. I am pretty sure I have pictures, but I have just checked, and they are not in my digital files - I suspect I have not yet digitised them.

I recall reading an article in an old American magazine (possibly Popular Science or Popular Mechanics) that, when demonstrated to the US military, it out-performed the American fighters of the time. It was faster and could out-manoeuvre them.
