Delivered as FAE804 in 1955. Six Canberra B6s served the Ecuadorian AF from 1955, three were lost in service and the survivors were withdrawn in 1984 after almost 30 years of service. The three survivors are all preserved, two, including 71405, are displayed outside the base headquarters building and the third within the main museum collection.
