Was the Canberra taxiing behind to get this photo?

No! Flying far away at 99k+ feet altitude.

Known for their unsynchomatic backbarbeque giving the F14 a very tight turn rate!

I thought I had a stroke when it said "F14 phantom" and then I thought I died of the stroke when I saw the F8s in the Aéronavale

They became unpopular when people realised that the afterburner ran on coal

My grandad was a stoker on those. He loved the job as there was always loads of fresh air, however he wasn't too keen on the safety measures as they were only tied on to the rear wings by a thin piece of cheap sellotape as this kept the weight down & for more coal to be carried

Hmm. Has George forgotten to tighten the front wing bolts again?
