Canberra Farewell

[AlexP]

I've just notice that the last shot of the airliners.net photos linked to above shows a PR.9 with two wing mounted pods of some sort (they’re not easy to spot but they are there). I didn't think they flew with anything mounted on the wing as I've only even seen them fly with a clean configuration.

The pods look to my untrained eye similar in size and shape to the chaff dispensers normally found on wing of a Tornado GR1 (and 4?) but they only ever carry the one with an ECM pod on the other wing.

Does anyone have any idea what these are? :think:

Neither have the Navs,who are probably playing musical chairs at the moments, and finding fewer seats.

The number I've seen getting chopped they probably have just the right number for the GR4/F3 fleets and the SH/ME forces...
