The Day A Canberra Bomber Flew Through A Hanger ....Or Did It?

Flying a jet powered medium bomber through an aircraft hangar is not for the faint hearted, and we can understand why this photo caused a stir back in 1955. Such a dangerous activity is certainly not in the RAAF book of procedures.

Manipulating photographs is quite common today, in fact many of us do it on our mobile phones, but it took some special photographic talent, and some special props to achieve this photo back in 1955.

Apparently the aircraft was sitting on stands for servicing with it's wheels up when the photo was taken, and those stands were removed from the picture during the developing process. The result caused some laughs, and maybe a bit of explaining, but the end result is certainly entertaining.
