Two modified Canberra B.2s were delivered to Sweden's F8 wing at Stockholm - Barkaby in 1960. This one was mainly a research platform but the other, like the Varsity on the right, was used for electronic intelligence work. Both Canberras also undertook missions to test the alertness of the Swedish air defences, popping up after extremely low flying over the Baltic.
