Canberra Tribute

Previous Up Next

The English Electric Canberra first flew on Friday 13 May 1949 when its performance created a sensation. Such was the quality of the original design that in May 1951, when the first 132 Canberras entered service with No 101 Squadron at RAF Binbrook, they could out­manoeuvre all the fighters of the period and fly with impunity more than
10,000 feet above them.
Operated by 17 airforces in more than 20 different variants, Canberras have been to war at Suez and in India, in Vietnam and the Falklands campaign, and in 1996 Canberra PR9s were engaged in operational reconnaissance flights over Bosnia and in other regions. It is widely and justifiably regarded as one of the greatest aircraft designs of all time.
Michael Rondot's dramatic painting features two variants in typical flying weather, a Canberra 132 in brilliant sunshine taking off from a rain­soaked runway, with a PR9 in the background set against a backdrop of stormclouds and rain.
