Incredibly, this is the first production Canberra delivered to the RAF in October 1950. It was over the nose of this aircraft that Australian prime minister Robert Menzies poured champagne on January 19, 1951 when naming the new bomber "Canberra". In 1957 WD929 was converted to a U10 drone. Shipped to the RAAF's Weapons Research Establishment in 1959 and destroyed by a missile on October 15 that year. Remains turned up in a scrapyard in the Adelaide industrial suburb of Wingfield.
