International Air Tattoo 1979. Operated by Grupo 6. Probably the star of the show. Originally delivered to the RAF as a Canberra B2 WF914 on 14 August 1952. Sold to BAC on 29 March 1965 and refurbished as a Canberra B82 and delivered to the FAV as 1233 in July 1966. During IAT the aircraft had been on overhaul at Warton and was able to position to Greenham for the show. Last seen in 1990 and assumed scrapped.
