Date and location are not certain, so confirmation is appreciated.

Built in 1953 and assigned initially to 115 Sqdn at Marham but went on to spend much of its life as a test airframe with the Royal Navy, A & AEE and Martin Baker. Converted to a U.14 pilotless drone in 1961 and operated as such for a short time by 728B Sqdn from Hal Far, Malta. After return to the UK and a period of storage, re-converted to a B.2, joined the A&AEE Bomber & Maritime Test Squadron and was later used for ejector seat trials. Transferred to Martin Baker at Chalgrove in 1985, returned to Boscombe down in 1988 and scrapped in 1990. The cockpit survives with the museum at Old Sarum.

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.

Built as a B.2 in 1953 and flown by three Bomber Command squadrons till 1960, this Canberra was converted to a U.14 radio-controlled pilotless target by Shorts at Belfast. Then operated by RN 728 Sqn from Hal Far, Malta on Seacat and Seaslug missile trials. After removal of radio gear, joined the A&AEE as a target tug in 1964 and was later used for ejector seat trials till 1988, including a period with Martin-Baker at Chalgrove. Dismantled by 1994 but the cockpit section was saved
