✈️ Restoration Hangar Update – Canberra WJ574 ✈️
Our English Electric Canberra TT.18, WJ574, has been moved outside of the restoration hangar to begin the next phase of her recovery.
Following the damage sustained during Hurricane Milton, our volunteers are now focusing on tidying her up and addressing the remaining repairs needed to return her to the condition she deserves. This work includes repairing storm-related damage, correcting cosmetic issues, and ensuring she continues to stand proudly as one of the most unique aircraft in the collection.
WJ574 has an incredible history, having served with the Royal Air Force and later participating in Project Robin, photographing Soviet missile tests during the Cold War. Preserving aircraft like her ensures these stories continue to be told for future generations.
Every hour of volunteer effort and every donation helps move this project forward. If you would like to support the restoration of Canberra WJ574, please consider making a contribution.
Thank you to our restoration volunteers for their continued dedication to preserving aviation history.
