The old Canberra

[Deleted]

When I moved to Farnborough over 20 years ago there used to be an Old Canberra parked Southwood Golf course side, from memory it was sort of Rae test colours, anyone know the reg ? I can also remember there was the remains of a Comet on the airfield that could be viewed from tho old (now closed section) of Ively rd near where the rasberry ripple Puma used to park, again any help with a reg

I remember these, i believe the Canberra was WH953 and was used by the air cadets? this was eventually broken up and i think the Comet was an early Nimrod AEW conversion XV147 based on a 4C airframe, this sat tailess for many years and was painted in hemp?, it was clearly viewable from the road that led from the Whittle roundabout to Fleet Rd.
