Hangared at Temora Aviation Museum NSW, Australia.

 

The Temora Aviation Museum is an Australian aerospace museum located in Temora, New South Wales. The Museum was established in late 1999, based on the collection of warbird aircraft owned by David Lowy. Lowy remains the President of the Museum, which is overseen by a seven-member Governing Committee.

 

In addition to being a tactical nuclear strike aircraft; the Canberra proved to be highly adaptable, serving in such varied roles for tactical bombing, photographic, electronic, and reconnaissance in conventional warfare. Canberras served in the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, the Indo-Pakistani Wars, and numerous African conflicts. In several wars, both of the opposing forces had Canberras in their air forces. The Canberra was retired by its first operator, the Royal Air Force, in 23 June 2006, 57 years after its first flight; a few remain in service, performing meteorological work for NASA.
