Four thousand pound 'cookie' in front of the IAF Museum's Canberra that caused some headaches when dropped on Pakistani airfields during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak Wars. Canberras of No. 5 Sqn. "Tuskers", No. 16 Sqn. "Cobras", No. 35 Sqn. "Rapiers" and the Jet Bomber Conversion Unit (JBCU) built their reputation on this formidable aircraft during both wars.
