Canberra for US museum

摘要

The Valiant Air Command Museum in Titusville, Florida has taken delivery of English Electric Canberra TT.18 WJ574, a former RAF and Royal Navy machine. Built by Handley Page as a B.2 in 1953, it first served with 540 Squadron at Benson in Oxfordshire. It is thought to have been used as both a photo reconnaissance aircraft and as a bomber, the latter with 57 Squadron at Cottesmore, Leics. Converted to a TT.18 it flew with the Royal Navy from October 1979.
