For historical accuracy, there were two Canberras flying the small area coverage. For tactical reasons and to reduce the amount of time in a high threat environment, two Canberras were employed running parallel tracks laterally offset from each other. The lead Canberra was crewed by Cmdt Bertus Burger and navigator Maj Frans Conradie. The second Canberra was flown by Maj Des Barker and navigator Maj Gert Swanepoel.
