This Canberra arrived here in 1990, when the museum was still named the Vallance By-Ways Collection. Following the death in Jan 2013 of the museum's owner Peter Vallance, some exhibits went to other museums and collections. In January 2016 this Canberra moved on to the RAF Laarbruch Museum in Weeze, Germany.
