The English Electric Canberra was the jet bomber that rewrote the rules of modern air power. Entering service in 1951, it was the Royal Air Force’s very first jet-powered bomber, a bold leap forward from the prop-driven Lancasters and Halifaxes of World War II. #ww2 #Aviation #aircraft #military | Jets 'n' Props

Today is the day! It's a truly historic moment for all of us, with the Canberra Bomber coming to life for the first time in over a decade! It was also the first time a Canberra Bomber has been started under an electric start system, which is credited to Chief Engineer Andrew Bishop and his team of aircraft engineers. We are very grateful to our gifted team who has been working on this project. And thank you for your support and regular check-ins on social media. | Temora Aviation Museum
