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 smile.gif

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?

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.

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.

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 .

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 tongue.gif, 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?
