What has happened to the Royal Air Forces Pr. 9 Canberra bombers?

They were retired SIGH already 7 months ago.. so fast time has flown..

I heard they were going to be WBs but is that not true?

Bombers........ :roll:

PR stands for photo recce.... :wink:

Rumours have been going around that the MOD may even be considering a lease back option on them back for use in their intended role........ :shock:
