Welcome Ken, If I can dig up the photo, I have shots of the first Aussie Canberra arriving in service. Was the photo taken at Canberra?.... ....actually RAAF Richmond. Cheers and enjoy the forum, Owen
617 Squadron for Kitty Hi Kitty. I am still in contact with 617 Squadron. They are at RAF Lossiemouth and I am present regaling them with my 'Tales from the RAF' Such as :- I am showing a new erk round the Lincoln on a what to do and not do basis. The NAAFI wagon had just been and as it was a cold day, we took our coffee and wads up into the nose out of the wind and I continued my chat. Break over, we tidied up and before I could stop him, the newby threw his dregs down what looked like a drain in the floor. It wasn't a drain, Oh no! there was a bang and a thud and a ten man dinghy popped out of its stowage in the wing root. The look alike drain was the flotation switch for the dinghy in case of a ditching at sea. It cost the lad seven days CC and £5 towards the cost of reinstalling the dinghy. Ken
