The only Australian built Canberra to be registered as a civil aircraft. Initially N20AN. Ferried to the US. Reregistered, it returned to Australia in 1991. Flew back to the US in March 1993. Reportedly grounded at Redding, CA, in 2004 and at the time of upload believed to still be there. It is not known if plans to paint it black as Martin B-57 have been carried out. Interestingly, the Australian civil registered aircraft was built in the UK after it was decided the Australian-made aircraft were unsuitable for long-term warbird operation.
