Ivanhoe Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I find the Vulcan unappealing (along with the Victor etc, the Valiant being the looker of the litter). The American version of the Canberra, however... 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I have to admit as I get older, the Victor does have a lot to commend it. It is frankly a bit weird looking, in that kind of way Gerry Anderson was future projecting new technology. The Valiant is a handsome aircraft but, ultimately, just a wee bit boring looking compared to the other too. I think a Canberra has to be a British one, otherwise you completely miss out on liveries like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep854 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 This was the first impression I had of the Canberra, as a model in the early '60s. Early night intruder scheme: The B-57 could do ugly, too. B-57G: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
