Record-Breaking Canberra to Fly Again

摘要

The team that restored Avro Vulcan XH558 to flight is to return another iconic all-British jet to the airshow circuit after acquiring English Electric Canberra B.2/6 WK163 from the Coventry-based Classic Aircraft Trust. This Canberra spent most of its life at the heart of British scientific and engineering innovation. The airframe played a central role in the development of advanced propulsion technologies followed by a period with the Royal Radar Establishment (RRE) in the 1960s and 70s, but it was in 1957 that she made headline news around the world.
