Some more pics from today with the Just Flight Canberra PR9:

 

Climbing out from Kent International Airport - the former RAF Manston in north east Kent.

 

Leaving the Kent coast heading towards France.

 

Climbing over the English Channel with Pas-de-Calais approaching.

 

After a big wide turn to port heading back towards Kent.

 

North East Kent from 49,000ft. Just under the starboard wing on the coast are the towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable. Just forward and port of the nose is Canterbury.

 

Passing over the Isle of Sheppey, just visible at the bottom of the pic. Underneath the clouds are the Medway Towns.

 

49,000ft over London. Such a good photographic platfrom was the Canberra PR9 that when the fitted the same cameras as used on the U-2 the Canberra would produce superior images.

Great shots!

Kinda looks like a bat.
