WD932 was the fourth production Canberra built and was flown to the US by Sqn Ldr A E Callard on 21 February 1951. English Electric's Chief Test Pilot, Roland Beamont then gave a spirited comparative display with the North American B-45 and the Martin XB-51 on the 26th of the same month. The Pentagon selected the Canberra, now designated B-57A. WD932 remained in the US and was allocated serial no. 51-17387 although this was never applied to the aircraft. It was lost on 21 December 1951 in high a "g" maneuver due to incorrect use of the fuel system. (Glenn L Martin Co. Photograph - No. P 40875)
