This 1953 reconaissance Canberra was placed on display at the Manston fire school in 6.69 (allocated 8049M after 231 OCU service), along with a Javelin and Spitfire, but was scrapped in 3.90. Based on the Canberra B.2, the PR.3 had a 14" section inserted in the forward fuselage to house seven cameras, and replaced the Mosquito PR.34 in RAF service. Nose now at the Flixton museum
