Warbird Information Exchange

Canberra does look good... Nice to see one of NASA's WB-57s orbiting the area west of KSC when they launched Artemis last week.

IIRC, even before Shoreham, the CAA was preventing some warbirds from flying in the UK...the Lightning and Shackleton come to mind...and perhaps others (Gannet?).
I think it had to do with being non-certified or not being supported by their builders...so basically a paperwork exercise.

Remember the vets, the wonderful planes they flew and their sacrifices for a future many of them did not live to see.

There is a group called Canberra USA that is restoring a B-57 to flight status. The most recent post on facebook was them doing gear retractions. IT will be a really cool effort and I wish them the best!

are there the ones that use to be in Boise?

The only Canberra USA I can find is restoring B.6 XH567 - do you have a link to the B-57 group?

Nope - that's the one - I realize now though that its a English bird and not a Glenn Martin Co. plane. They sure are cousins though. . .
