English Electric Canberra Bomber, Kelvin & Hughes Slip & Turn Indicator

First flown in 1951, the English Electric Canberra bomber could fly at a higher altitude than any other aircraft of the day, establishing a world altitude record of over 21,430 m and then setting another as the first jet aircraft to make a non-stop transatlantic flight.

With its extraordinary ability to evade all early jet interceptor fighters and its significantly enhanced speed and manoeuvrability over contemporary piston-engined bombers, the Canberra became a popular export to airforces around the world.

Due to its limited range of just 3200 km and its inability to carry the early, bulky nuclear bombs, the Canberra was mainly used as a tactical bomber and while many of the British Canberras were stationed overseas, they were not modified to carry the new generation of smaller tactical nuclear bombs until the late 1950s.

This Canberra Bomber Instrument comes complete with detailed Scale Model, Mango Wood Stand & Plaque plus Printed Fact Sheet featuring photo of instrument in aircraft cockpit.
