Ooh, Vulcan!
 Gets my vote for 'Prettiest bomber of the cold war.'Ooh, Canberra! When Martin got the contract to build them for the USAF as the B-57, they kept the name. Pilots took to calling it the "Iron Cranberry".

The cross is the emblem of the City of Lincoln.There is a Canberra aircraft at the RAF museum at Hendon that took part in an air race but it is not this one.The Vulcan was on a show the flag tour.I suppose the Canberra was part of this as is the Hastings in the background.

Found the answer!
http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-...m/canberra.htm It was a British Canberra that was lent to Australia for training, with was allocated an RAAF No. but it was never used! Was it around 1953 when the photo was taken??? |
