English Electric and Martin B-57 Canberra

The Italeri 1/72 B-57 kit has a nose like that as one of the options

Random idea:  SEAD "Wild Weasel" style Canberra, probably based on Canberra B(I).8 and equipped with either Martel ARMs or perhaps US supplied AGM-45 Shrikes?

That is my idea behind this project

Some lovely stuff in this thread. Here's one I've been thinking of for a while:

Here you go Dave. I can no longer find the online version.

Nice! But they've put the engines a little too far inboard, which would require a major reworking of the main landing gear.

Well spotted !
The engines need to be over-and-under, like a Short Sperrin . . .


cheers,
Robin,

I concur Dave.

Different eras (early and late) of Canberra bombers. :thumbsup:

I like.  I know it goes against the spirit of the Canberra concept (essentially a jet Mosquito) but I do like the idea of a stinger tail gun.

[The Big Gimper]

... but I do like the idea of a stinger tail gin.

Are you drinking gin and tonic again Greg? 

[GTX_Admin]

Yes…but fat fingers were to blame that time.

[kitnut617]

Stinger tails -- yeah! yeah! yeah!

T tailed Canberra: the Very British Bomber. :thumbsup:

Hmmm...
