RAAF 100 Squadron's Canberra is masquerading as an RAAF machine. In fact it was a Handley-Page built example, delivered to the RAF as a B2, serial WJ680. Later converted to a TT18. It was sold in 1992 and flew for nearly a decade in the UK as WJ680, registered G-BURM. In 2001 it was acquired for the Temora Aviation Museum and shipped to Australia, being re-registered VH-ZSQ on 30 July 2002 and painted to represent A84-234. (The front fuselage of the real A84-234 is on display at the RAAF Museum, Point Cook.) This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
