Originally delivered to the RAF in 1954 as WK137, this eye-catching Canberra was initially intended to be used as a target tug out of Oberpfaffenhofen from 1966 with Eprobungstelle 61 but instead was used for various systems trials. It then went on to perform survey work with special camera fits at the Mil Geo Amt, Koln, becoming 99+34. Last flight 27.10.93 and now in a museum at Schwenningen. In 1991 the lower wing surfaces from an RAF TT.18 were fitted after an engine fire; the yellow and black stripes can still be seen This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
