Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

RAF Canberras in the 90s

Post by maurits »

Hi people,

The good old Canberra have been phased out the RAF since a few years now. I would like to share some shots I have made in July 1993 during a base visit at RAF Wyton.
Inside the maintenance-hangar we got the oppertunity to take a seat in the front-seat of this recce XH131/AF:

another one, XH169/AC was outside for flying operations
Image
former 231 OCU PR7 WH779/BP and WT509/BR were still in their old grey/green camo
Image
Image
T17 WJ607/EB just returned from the morning mission
Image
old 100sq PR7 WT538/CJ was using as instructional airframe
Image
B2 WJ731/BK looks timely stored
Image
at the dump this T17 WJ630/ED was just wfu
Image
Also some shots of visiting four 360sq Canberra T17s during Falcon Nut June 1994 at Soesterberg. These planes were radar-jammers in this exercise.
T17 WH902/EK on approach

WD955/EM one of the oldest RAF planes in active service at that moment taxiing out after the lunch
Image
WJ981/EN and also WJ986/EP on this sunny day at Soesterberg

In 1999 I caught some 39sq PR9s at their last home base RAF Marham in the hot summer sun, July 1999.
Here on the the last five PR9s XH168/AD on the runway at Marham

Finally the special blue colored WJ874 as VN799/P lands at Fairford during the RIAT1999

Hope you like them!
