is that the super long winged one? or were those mrtin only? airfix has got me all excited, i want one now, now, now!!!! gimmie, gimmie, gimmie! (those are just so f.cking cool.) Deeper chord betweem the fuzilage and engines and square wingtips. I was quite surprised yesterday to see two of the remaining three flying over Norfolk in formation Ian > I was quite surprised yesterday to see two of the remaining three > flying over Norfolk in formation So *that's* what was making such a racket over my house! I'm surprised that they could manage to get two serviceable at the same time. Last I heard they were robbing parts from aircraft that had just returned to make the next one serviceable. As soon as that aircraft returns, the same component gets robbed again and replaced in the original aircraft!  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. >I was quite surprised yesterday to see two of the remaining three >flying over Norfolk in formation > >Ian and no camera handy? seems to always be the case.

Martin built two models of B-57 Canberra with greatly enlarged wings, the B-57D and B-57F.

PR.9s had a different shape to the wing but it wasn't as long spanned as the Martin builds. Off the top of my head I think the 9 had extended chord between the engines and the fuselage.

It does, together with slightly extended and squared off wingtips and an enlarged tailplane. The canopy is a fighter-style clamshell affair and the engines are Rolls-Royce Avon 100s, the same engines as were in the Lightning. It is very different indeed from the original Canberra!

FWIW The B-57F aircraft were, I believe, rebuilt earlier model aircraft and they were done by General Dynamics, not Martin, which had closed it's aircraft fabrication operation by that time. Also, weren't the engine nacelles on the Canberra PR.9 somewhat different that the earlier versions because of the use of later more powerful Avons?

All 23 production airframes were built at the Short Brothers factory in Belfast, but the design was by English Electric at Warton, like all the other Canberras. |
