	Warbird Alley: English Electric Canberra
		The RAF's first bomber, the Canberra, is still serving on the frontlines today, 51 years after it was first flown.
		The Canberra B.MK 2 differed in having a crew of three, the added member being the bombardier.
		Indeed, for many years, the Canberra flew higher than any other aircraft, and in 1957 it captured a world altitude record of 70,000 feet.

		The English Electric Canberra was a first-generation jet bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s, and remaining in service until the early years of the 21st century.
		The Canberra was originally designed for a crew of two under a fighter-style canopy, but delays in the development of the intended automatic radar bombsight resulted in the addition of a bomb aimer's position in the nose.
		In the United States where the USAF needed to replace the B-26 Marauder, 406 Canberras were manufactured under licence as the Martin B-57 in several versions, initially almost exactly the same as the English Electric pattern aircraft, later with a series of substantial modifications.

	ENGLISH ELECTRIC CANBERRA PR7
		Canberras entered service in January 1953 with No. 101 Squadron and by May of that year 101 squadron had been fully equipped with the new aircraft.
		Canberras began to be phased out of service in the 1960’s but the last variant was still in service in the late 1990’s.
		The Canberra was used in both the UK and by other countries as an airborne test facility for everything from new avionics to engines and weapons system.

	WHAT
		In January 1957 the English Electric Canberra was selected by the Indian Air Force, to equip its bomber and strategic reconnaissance units.
		The English Electric Canberra bomber aircraft was first inducted into the Indian Air Force at POONA in 1956 when No.16 Squadron was formed as a conversion squadron, and subsequently Nos.5 Squadron and No. 35 Squadron were also formed and equipped with the Canberra B(I)Interdictor Bomber and later No101 PR Squadron.
		Canberra Bomber Old Boys Association has been established here in Pune, the birth place of the first Canberra bomber squadron as a representative of all the IAF crews that flew and fought in the elegant and stately machine with flying characteristics that rivaled in its time the fighters of that age.

	Canberra bomber; the old workhorse, always reliable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Australian Canberra was based on the British B.2 version but with provision for increased internal fuel capacity in a redesigned wing leading edge (incorporated from the 21st aircraft and retrofitted to earlier examples), a revised radio suite and a reduction in crew from three to two - pilot and navigator/bomb aimer.
		Canberras from No 2 Squadron became the first Australian jet bombers to perform a combat sortie in September 1958 when an attack against terrorists in Northern Malaya was carried out, the first of many such excursions.
		As extreme accuracy was required, the cool Australian Pilot held the Canberra on a straight and level course through the enemy's gunfire and his equally calm and efficient navigator released one bomb, achieving excellent results according to the excited reports from the friendly ground troops.

	English Electric Canberra PR9 airplane pictures & aircraft photos - RAF Museums
		With the Canberra already established as a light bomber in the Royal Air Force, it was a logical step to produce a photo-reconnaissance version of this high performance aircraft as a replacement for the Mosquito PR variants.
		To improve still further the high-altitude performance of the Canberra for photo-reconnaissance and to take it out of the reach of fighter interception, the Canberra PR9 was produced.
		XH171 was one of a group of 22 Canberra aircraft produced by Short Brothers which were fitted with a fighter offset canopy and elongated nacelles.

		The Canberra long-range, photo-reconnaissance aircraft was one of several versions of the Canberra bomber, one of the success stories of the post-war British aircraft industry.
		As the Cold War deepened in the early 1950s the Canberra was ordered in large numbers to replace the obsolete Avro Lincolns and to form new light bomber squadrons.
		Worldwide production of Canberras totalled 1,376925 of these were built in the United Kingdom with 782 being supplied to the Royal Air Force.

		The Canberra was intended as a replacement for the Mosquito, and was a first-generation jet-bomber with straight wing layout, but was nevertheless a very successful aircraft (the Mosquito was the fastest aircraft in service with Bomber Command by the end of the war and was, in fact, only eclipsed by the introduction of the Canberra).
		English Electric received a contract in May 1945 - their aircraft was originally known as the A1 and the first prototype was flown on 13.
		The Canberra bore the main brunt of bombing in the Suez campaign, although some was also borne by the new Valiant which was replacing it in this role.

		The Canberra was planned as a high-altitude, nuclear-capable, medium bomber with turbojet engines.
		The importance of the Canberra is also attested by the fact that it became the first non-U.S. type to be manufactured under licence in the United States after WW II.
		The Canberra has held a number of world speed, heights and range records in its time.

	Aeropark \| English Electric Canberra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Canberra has the honour of being one of the few post-war aircraft built under license in the USA as the B57 built by Martin Aircraft, a testament to its design and prowess.
		The B57's saw combat in Vietnam, Canberra's were also successfully sold to numerous other countries.
		As a variant of aircraft in active service from the 1950's to 2000's It could be easily argued that as the last serving examples face decommissioning from reconnaissance duties from the RAF in mid 2006 that the Canberra is one of the most successful products of Britain's now sadly much reduced aviation industry.

	English Electric Canberra
		In early 1950 a new medium bomber designed for the RAF, the Canberra, was undergoing its initial testing and, with a operational ceiling of 50,000 feet and a maximum speed of 470 knots, had clear potential as a reconnaissance platform.
		A number of Canberra aircraft were on the strength of 540 Sqn, which later became 51 Sqn - generally these aircraft operated in conjunction with the 540 Sqn Comet 2R’s on ELINT sorties.
		Three ex-RAF Canberra B2 were supplied to the West German Luftwaffe in Sep 66 and converted for ELINT duties.

		With so many aircraft in the area, it was important to identify friendly forces involved in the conflict, so all British, French and Israeli aircraft were hastily painted with fl and yellow stripes on the wings and fuselages, much the same as was done for ‘D-Day’.
		The strike operations by the Canberras and Valiants were successful, with only the loss of one Canberra aircraft.
		WH640 was one of No.10 Squadron’s Canberra B.Mk.2s, which was based at RAF Honington, Suffolk in 1956 and deployed to Nicosia, Cyprus in October of that year to participate in “Operation Musketeer”.
