Good news but I wonder how many hours I'd have to travel, to see it flying? Does St. Athan do a show?
Also, I was puzzled by this:-
"English Electric Canberra WK163 was the first aircraft in history to complete a transatlantic flight without refuelling, "
Erm, Charles Lindbergh didn't stop to refuel. USAAF bombers might have required onboard ferry tanks to get here but I think it was a non-stop route. Maybe it originally read "first jet aircraft to…" but it got edited.
// and once held the world altitude record.//
Presumably the U2 took that away? That dates it.
