Excellent - I love the work these guys put out! By the by, I missed out by a whisker a flight in an 85 Sqn Canberra whilst I was on annual camp at RAF Binbrook back in the '70's. Weather forced cancellation. In those days there were all sorts of opportunities - the following year I was "volunteered" for extraction from a dinghy in the North Sea by the SAR Flight Whirlwind - RAF Coltishall.

Thanks for the heads-up

Arr , great Steve finally finished it ! im in

So you think Spitfires have a confusion of Marks and models, try the English Electric bomber!
Now... what made the Kiwi flavour different, and can one be cobbled together from what Steve proposes?

[Ian Warren]

Your right there Charl , so many variants - different Mks almost for every country , just happen to be standing by the nose off 'Rassberry Ripple' couple days back , the Kiwi Canberra well we had the B1 /12 and T13 . The B1/12 had the fighter type cockpit and T13 more akin to B2 variant.

[Fauville]

T13's were a varient of the RAF T4, which was a varient of the B2, so thats a start.

75 Squadron had some leased RAF B2's 1958-1962 when operating in Singapore, 9 aircraft, wearing RAF reg, silver? with white rudder and a Tiki on the tail, so thats another avenue. Photo in Duxbury/Ewing /McP Aircraft of the RNZAF has a photo, one being WJ988, noted as a T17 (conversion) when lost with 360 Sqn RAF in 1968 due to birdstrike.

Thanks for the link Naki. I love all that early Brit stuff.....the V bombers, Bucc's, Lightning's, hunters,

[Ian Warren]

The internals show up in FSX-DX10 , but the external may require FSXconverter , the aircraft is completely white , times i wish had a better camera and photoed the insides off the cockpit at Ashburton Aviation Museum .

Sadly Steve isn't doing B1's this time round...can't recall if there ever was one, actually? Alphasim?

[deeknow]

Looks like your wish for B1's may have come true. There's a "B1 and protypes" pack and a "Tugs & Trainers" (T.4, 17, 18 & 19) pack and a "Bombers and Power" (B.6, 15 & 16) pack just been released, not freeware but very reasonably priced ($5 and $10 and $5 respectively).

see: http://flyingstations.com/canberra-pack-tugs-trainers.html

Am just reading Paul Harrison's "Kiwi Air Combat Forces" booklet, Ian's talk of war machines finally got under my skin , thus took notice of this release. Does anyone know if the T.4s modelled by these guys are the twin seat trainers RNZAF would have used? According to Harrison they had 2 loaners from the RAF and actually bought two?
