  Canberra has had a long service life, hope it is scheduled for some proper upgrades, like a Tik Tok camera and nuclear engines.

  Did the Spitfire have a wooden fold down table on the back of the pilots seat?

  I struggled with putting the transfers on the baby ones I used to build in the 70s … did they have an army (not Air Force) of people soaking massive RAF transfers in swimming pools so they could try and stick them place on the Spitfire like this one?
