@NickB1967 I'll ammend that, Vulcan XH-588 has been back in the air now for some years but the private trust that owns and operates it is finding it increasingly difficult to find the funds to keep it in the air =(

@NickB1967 I think it would be. The one element that American planners requested every time from the R.A.F. in Iraq and Afghanistan was the Canberra for it's recon and surveillance capabilities, nothing else other than then retired SR-71 could match it. I can see why it was retired, it's an old airframe and the cracks were starting to show + keeping them airworthy wasn't getting any cheaper.
I just think it's sad not to see them, along with the Vulcan's not flying any more.

@navnig: Would it still be technologically proficient? The US Air Force retired its B-57's (US military code for Canberra bombers) after Vietnam.

what colour was it?

@anisocoro actually on the last day of the war one was shot down

@UKkid19 NASA were operating two WB-57fs (Martin-built high altitude recon variant), for atmospheric research, until last year.

Its a legend. Bombed the ass holes from 1970 to 1999 kargil

Its so plain and simple but the design is still relevant till this day, thats why! Its also one of the few aero plains that after 55yrs still looks like a new design as jet plains still haven't gotten more sophisticated from this..! The IAF was the last to decommission it and to imagine there where no vastly superior alternatives till this day only stands testimony to its simplicity.

In 1956 British Canberras performed lots of perilious missions over Egypt , but no one was shot down even if lots of flak and guns had been directed to them

The canberra has a certain grace to its flight, i dont know why, but it just seems graceful
