The RAAF English Electric Canberra based at Temora Aviation Museum in Australia recently made it's first flight in 10 years. It is the only airworthy English Electric Canberra bomber.

Haven't seen an update in a few months but if it hasn't flown already, there soon will be a second.

Regarding the Canberra in Lakeport CA, and as mentioned on this thread a few years ago, any thoughts on taking a Canberra off from a 3,600 length GA field for the ferry flight? Wonder what it would do to the runway surface?

I do hope we get more flyers. I have never seen a Canberra of B-57 fly.
