English Electric Canberra B. 2 WV787
Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment - English Electric Canberra B.2 WV787 (msn 71644), water-spray tanker for icing tests, at RAF Greenham Common on 27 June 1981 for the 1981 International Air Tattoo. The aircraft requiring the test flew behind WV787s water spray bar, seen at the extreme rear of the fuselage, as water was pumped out producing an artificial cloud. Built as a Canberra 8.2, WV787 was a good example of a development aircraft. Initially used as a test-bed for reheated Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire engines, the aircraft was later fitted with a Mk 8 front fuselage and Buccaneer nose radome for use as a radar test-bed. Relegated to Ground instructional use as 8799M, then preserved at Newark Air Museum, Nottinghamshire. Date: 1981
