Nice plane. We used to have one of those flying around locally in Mid Norfolk. Very low too, just above the trees - it was a smaller town then in the 80s and less people to complain !
Interesting and unusual job your Dad had DD 8)
He was on national service at the time Data.
They helped train Indian crews on the Canberra, apparently they had trouble working out the radar set had 2 on switches :LOL:
