I say old chap, rather a good show there, don't you know!
Nice find on the squadrons and the build guides old bean, and I see you opened, or re-found the pics I got for you.
If it's not too late, I think I might have a control yoke you can modify to fit onto the control column, as the B(I)8 didn't have the 'fighter' type grip. Don't know why Airfix didn't include a yoke - maybe the (Chinese?) tool-makers worked off some photos for a different Mark, or it was missing the yoke.
Let me know if you want the part , there's a good chap.
 
If you can find it, I don't mind correcting the balls up old boy.... The "stick" seem to be awfully long as well, almost to the top of the front panel!

Cheers lads!
 
Just to get you slightly moist....there are now four cockpits attending this weekends Cockpitfest at Newark

Canberra TT.18, Canberra PR.9, Canberra T.4, Canberra T.19

I'll see what I can do with regards to pics. You should be warned tho' that while I can recognise a Canberra 9 out of 10 times, I have absolutely no idea of what mark has what canopy / opening 'bonnet' etc so I'll start from the outside and work my way around each one...access permitting !

I'll post up some shots monday eve when I'm back
 
Great stuff Gary. No doubt we'll be able to tell the difference between the Marks (I think!). Have a great weekend mate, and don't drink too much....well ok then, have a couple of good 'sessions'!

Holy crap...Jan it looks really like the assembling line.

Nope.....this is an assembly line !. If I remember correctly, this is a model collection of all marks and variants

And a few shots of some of the Canberra 'pits and residents at Newark last weekend. Unfortunately, I was so snowed under talking with a never ending stream of interested visitors about my 51, I didnt get much of a chance to get around and take all the pics I had intended. Sorry !

I do like the all black one that was used at Boscombe Down !

Outstanding pics Gary, simply outstanding! Was the guy locked in inside that nose on the ground, and not let out again until landed again?

1. Better not suffer from claustrophobia!
2. Better watch what you're eating so that you don't get an upset stomach!
3. How the h*ll do I get out!?

Much appreciated Gary!
