Canberra Bi.8 VX185

Scanned from a publicity photo from the 1950's
English Electric Canberra Bi.8 VX185
This aircraft had an interesting history, production started in 1951 as a PR.3, before completion it was converted to the prototype of the B.5, in this configuration it set the two way Atlantic crossing record in 1952 with a time of 10hr 3min. In 1954 it was modified became the prototype for the Bi.8 configuration.
I worked on the Bi.6 version of the Canberra in the late sixties


other sizes: small medium original auto
