During Summer 2005 I saw some ex Laarbruch aircraft during my vacation. These aircraft consisted of a Javelin FAW.5 at Coventry, a Blackburn Buccaneer at Bruntingthorpe, and a Canberra B4 in the Hermeskeil Museum.
It was nice and on the same time a bit sad to see them. Especially the Canberra at hermeskeil is in poor condition...
Here are the photo's:
This is Canberra B4 XM264 in the Museum in Hermeskeil close to Trier (D). Still in the markins of RAF No 16sqn "The Saints". The aircraft is displayed outsied and suffers from weather conditions...
Another view of the Canberra at Hermeskeil. The Sharks-mouth and markings of RAF No 16sqn now clearly visible.
The Javelin FAW.5 in full RAF No 5sqn markings at the Midland Air Museum in Coventry.
This is one of the few Javelins that has survived the sledge hammers...
The Blackburn Buccaneer S.2B XW544 at Bruntingthorpe proving grounds. The markings of 16sqn clearly visible.
