Yeah, not a well covered subject at all!

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.

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!

Oh yeah the good old Coffman starter - it was certainly loud!

I'll swing by my local Hobby Lobby and pick one up during their 40% sales.
