This first generation jet bomber was built by British company, English Electric. The Canberra’s story began in 1944 when the Air Ministry needed a replacement for the De Havilland Mosquito. W.E.W ‘Teddy’ Petter was the chief designer and the prototype first flew in May 1949. Throughout the 1950’s, the Canberra set numerous speed and altitude records including one flight recorded at 70,310 ft in 1957. Amazingly, the type was eventually retired by the RAF in June 2006 - however three of the B 57 variants remain in service today with NASA performing Meteorological work.
This stylish piece of wall art is precision laser cut from 2mm steel and powder coated to a satin black finish. This provides a durable rust resistant finish so it can be displayed indoors or out. The piece stands away from the wall by 16mm giving an elegant 3D look which casts a silhouette on the wall. Mounting instructions and wall fixings are supplied.
