Known to have operated with the Central Signals Establishment before she was converted to a Meteor TT.20 target tug during 1961. She then served with No.3 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit (3CAACU) at Exeter and No.5 Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Unit (5CAACU) at Woodvale before being retired in December 1971 and allocated the maintenance serial 8189M.

RAF English Electric Canberra B Mk.2,

The English Electric Canberra B.2 was the first production variant of a twin-engine, turbojet powered light bomber.

This particular Canberra, WK163, spent its entire career as a research test bed. Photographed here on  28 August 1957 it reached an altitude of 70,308 feet over southern England.  This set a new Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record for altitude. The Canberra was being used to test Napier’s Double Scorpion NSc D1-2 rocket engine, which was used to drive the aircraft far beyond its normal service ceiling of 48,000 feet.

Canberra T4 WJ879 'BH' 231 Operational Conversion Unit by Mark McEwan Via Flickr: 25 March 1992, RAF Leuchars Not the greatest of print scans I'm afraid, taken on a Practica MTL-50 with a Pentacon 135mm lens in poor light, but it's the only shot I have of a Canberra wearing 231 OCU markings.
