English Electric Canberra of the Royal Air Force. The Canberra was used in operations during the Suez crisis, Vietnam War, Falklands conflict and Bosnia. The Canberra B2 shown in aviation art prints by Keith Woodcock, Michael Rondot and Robert Taylor available from aviation prints.co.uk.

Century of Aviation Series No2 by Keith Woodcock  English Electric (BAC) Canberra  The Canberra is still in service today and is probably the longest serving operational military aircraft ever, worldwide, likely to achieve an incredible 50 years in 2001. First flown in 1949, it became Britain's first jet bomber, entering the Royal Air Force as the B2 with 101 squadron at Binbrook in 1951. Canberra saw action in Malaya against terrorists in 1955 and again in the Suez crisis of 1956. The versatility of the basic airframe is proved by its adoption for training, electronic counter measures, target towing, photo reconnaissance and intruder operations, in addition to the normal bombing role for which it was designed. Depicted in the painting is a B2 in the early black and grey colour scheme which it carried when introduced. In production for 10 years, 678 British-built Canberras were completed, plus a further 451 license-built in Australia and America. 


Canberra Tribute by Michael Rondot.


Canberra Tribute by Michael Rondot.

Operated by 17 airforces in more than 20 different variants, Canberras have been to war at Suez and in India, in Vietnam and the Falklands campaign, and in 1996 Canberra PR9s were engaged in operational reconnaissance flights over Bosnia and in other regions. It is widely and justifiably regarded as one of the greatest aircraft designs of all time. The English Electric Canberra first flew on Friday 13 May 1949 when its performance created a sensation. Such was the quality of the original design that in May 1951, when the first B2 Canberras entered service with No 101 Squadron at RAF Binbrook they could out manoeuvre all the fighters of the period and fly with impunity more than 10,000 feet above them.

 Canberra Tribute by Michael Rondot  The English Electric Canberra first flew on Friday 13th May 1949 when its performance created a sensation. Such was the quality of the original design that in May 1951, when the first B2 Canberras entered into service with No 101 Squadron at RAF Binbrook, they could outmanoeuvre all the fighters of the period and fly with impunity more than 10,000 feet above them. Operated by 17 airforces in more than 20 different variants, Canberras have been to war at Suez and in India, in Vietnam and the Falklands campaign, and in 1996 Canberra PR9s were engaged in operational reconnaissance flights over Bosnia and in other regions. It is widely justifiably regarded as one of the greatest aircraft designs of all time.  This painting features two variants in typical flying weather, a Canberra B2 in brilliant sunshine taking off from a rain-soaked runway, with a PR9 in the background.
