I am away I am likely to take a break and have moved this from my sandbox a little more hurriedly than I was planning. Its being done by cut and paste due to a lot of miscellaneous editting in my sandbox. Feel very free to improve the article, correct my mistakes, etc. I may return to it from time to time. There is additional information in the references not in the article at this time. It has proven a bigger job than I thought Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Image

The only usage image I can find seems strange, it being the Canterbury in WWII. I'd prefer her a now wartime short for the main image. The plane in the background seem dramatic, and I think some may even claim it as Japanese. However the ahip was used as a practice target for the Fleet Air Arm so perhaps that is what that is about but I am speculating.

Move to main space

I've moved this article to mainspace due to an erroneous wikilink being created on commons and moving this article to mainspace quickly seems the best way forward. I had hoped to visit Kew on Thursday or even Sunday but as my commons footprint shows I spent too much time at Alexandra Palace ... but a side benefit was I bought For the Kings Service Railway Ships at War AJ Mullay which contains a little more on Canterbury (and others) during the war period. Someone on Commons has identified the aircraft as a Hampden which seems credible with Canterbury being used as Fleet Air Arm target practice.Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:52, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
