Having arrived at Duxford in January 1975 (and making the last ever Javelin flight in the process), XH897 was by this stage ready for a repaint. The faintly visible nose markings of "A" Fighter Test Squadron A&AEE were not retained after the repaint.

MoD(PE) A&AEE Boscombe Down

Built by Shorts in 1953 serving 115, 207 and 73 Squadrons. Converted to U.14 drone in 1960 for the Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment at Boscombe Down. Later to D.14 director aircraft - hence high visibility test markings.

Operated by A&AEE Boscombe Down.

This aircraft was still operated by the RAE as a camera platform. It crashed on 22nd February, 1982

The 19 mark B(I)6 Canberras were built in 1955 as an interim measure pending the B(I)8, for ground-attack, interdictor and bomber roles. They served only 213 Sqn in RAFG, but this one (and WT308) went to the RAE instead. Used for weapons trials, the later 'Raspberry Ripple' scheme was modified with white undersides to improve performance of the wingtip mounted cameras. After a period as a ground apprentice trainer, she was scrapped in Jan 1998 but the nose section was saved for the FAST museum at Farnborough.
