While in Canberra we went down to Lake Burley Griffin for sunset, near the National Carillon. I had a nice warm coat but my hands got colder and colder and colder.

The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s. The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430 m) in 1957. Due to its ability to evade the early jet interceptors and its significant performance advancement over contemporary piston-engined bombers, the Canberra was a popular export product and served with air forces of many nations.

Another Canberra nose, this time of B.2 99+35 of the West German Military Geographic Service (Mil Geo AMT). She originally served with the RAF as WK138, and was transferred to the Luftwaffe in 1966 after having much of her bombing equipment replaced with reconnaissance kit. She was used for mapping duties, radar calibration and 'research' observations of Russian activities. Apparently the bright orange colour scheme of the three such aircraft was intended to persuade the Russians that their role was inocuous! German Canberras were retired by 1993.
