That's great news, what a fantastic aircraft. I'd pay to see a PR9 wheels up again.
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D

Be careful what you wish for; are the Argentinian Canberras still in service (or store even)? LOL

No, the Argentinian AF retired what few airframes were left of its fleet of Canberras in 1999/2000 and it was covered various magazines at the time, they all went to museums as far as I recall.

I doubt we have any spares left in storage for them either.... :ninja: .....

I notice that it had been at RIAT and a few very nice pics were taken of her upon departure.
It had made its first flight the day before it arrived at RIAT?
What I was wondering is, do the operators have a list of shows that it might be displaying at this year and where they might be planning to show next year. Do the operators have a web site of sorts?
Compared to XH558 this was very low key considering the Canberras heritage.
It's fantastic to see another classic British jet back in action. Any more Canberras that can be brought back to flying condition?
