[Mfg495]

Hare are just some of the images I took during my tour with the Canberra PR.9's from 39(1PRU) Sqn back in 2006, on your return the aircraft the was retired from service and the Squadron disbanded, later 39 Sqn reformed with UAV's at Waddington. I hope you enjoy them.

It was VERY hot, hard work we were trying to process the recce film, we took a couple of beer chillers with us to ensure we could get the temperatures right for the processing machines.

Great set of images, I was I/C RIC during the tour in theater, I came up from HQ Air as they were short of a FS for the det, great to get away from my desk and do what I was trained to do as an Air Phot.

Some more shots can bee see on my Flickr pages - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24921073@N ... 214314059/
