A cracking subject Tom and great progress so far. I like the B-57, I always thought the tandem bubble canopy worked well on a Canberra.

Oh yeah the good old Coffman starter - it was certainly loud!Gary Brantley wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 5:40 pm That's cool, Tom.My late father-in-law was an Air Force airman in the early '50s. He often told me a funny story of being startled by a visiting British Canberra. He was standing near it when it was "started" with a shotgun shell-like device to spin the turbines. He said he thought the thing had blown up!
