Best you take a trip to Newark Air Museum, they have a lovely gloss black b(I)8 there

Yes, Newark, know it well, the one with the "Playboy" bunny on it. You mean WV787, a B(I)8 Mod airframe, but it never flew with the RAF - trials only - and it sports that awful T.22-type "Bucaneer" nose.

BTW, Newark Museum probably has more Canberras than any other museum. . .

WV787, B(I)8 Mod
PR.7, WH791
T.19, WH904
XH177, PR.9 (nose only)
WH863, T.17 (nose only)

You will find pics and potted histories of each of these on the Canberra Tribute Site, Survivors pages.
