English Electric Canberra B-57 (1:72) by Corgi Aviation Item Number: AA34708English Electric Canberra B(I)8 - No.16 Squadron, RAF Laarbruch,Germany, 1972 (1:72) The B-57 Canberra (the I stands for Interdictor) lost the one-piece glasshouse bubble canopy so loved by aircrews, and sported instead a fighter-type canopy. This was offset from the aircrafts centerline, giving the B(I)8 a very distinctive profile shared by the photo-recon variant, the PR-9 and of course, the Sea Vixen. In June 1972, 16 Sq. (RAF Laarbruch) finally turned in the last RAF B(I)8 Canberra after a squadron ownership of 14 years! Length:11" Width:11.25"
