Looking a little war weary in a faded temporary grey paint scheme. This shot was taken on the day the last three Canberra's in RAF service departed their long time base at Marham for Kemble and a new career in civillian hands

This beautiful old aircraft is one of a number preserved at Kemble.

This aircraft went on to become No 342 of the Chilean Air Force and, as such, crashed in Patagonia on 25th May, 1983. The negative had gone mouldy but has been recovered using Photoshop.

After more than 50 years of operational service with the Royal Air Force, the Canberra was finally retired the month after this photograph was taken. It is seen here arriving for the 2006 Waddington Airshow.
