Lasty, it was the RAAF's 2 Sqn in Vietnam. Had bombs mounted on their wing-tips.

last third: No piss take intended, and I did not say the RAF were in Vietnam at any time.

However, having reread our two posts I can now see where there was room for misunderstanding.
I was commenting only on your statement that the Canberra was cutting edge in the 1960's.

Just to clear things up, I believe it was cutting edge in the 1950's but by the 60's that edge was becoming blunt.

Does the starter of this thread ,ou Trek dronkie, have a connection somewhere south of the Limpopo river? Just a thought.

Can't send a PM or e-mail so I have to place this here.
