Cottesmore Canberras

Post by 3Greens » Mon Dec 14, 2009 10:15 pm

The nice thing about the old days was that many larger aircraft were left outside to 'pasture' over a weekend.
Caught these lovely Canberras on Sunday 8th September 1974 on our way back from the Farnborough Airshow
- blimey 35 years ago Norm !

AAAahhhhhh When I was a space cadet I had a flight in a 100Sqn B2 from West Raynham. Happy days.
